| Visual Dialogues 2006-7
Visual Dialogues is a project initiated and
managed by Tate in partnership with art galleries around England.
Working in collaboration with artists and gallery and museum staff,
groups of young people (16 – 18) are developing a range of
interpretative resources and audience engagement programmes for
works from the Tate Collection.
This year, Visual Dialogues builds on the
success of last year’s programme, further integrating dynamic
resources into museums and galleries, making the voices of young
people more audible, and reaching new audiences through extended
audience engagement programmes. Running over a number of months,
ideas of experiment and risk are key to the programme: at present
no group knows exactly what the tangible outcomes will be.
Partner museums and galleries involved in developing
the project are Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Manchester Art
Gallery, Sheffield Museums and Galleries Trust, Tyne and Wear Museums
(Laing Art Gallery), and Tate Britain. The programme is supported
by a professional development and research programme supported by
the Centre
for Applied Research in Education, University of East Anglia
which is tracking personal, social and educational outcomes.
Visual Dialogues is funded by the Government
Department of Culture Media and Sport under their Strategic
Commissioning programme, which is designed to facilitate partnership
working between national and regional museums and galleries in order
to enrich educational experiences for children and young people
and encourage the involvement of new audiences.
Visual Dialogues is managed by Rebecca Heald,
based at Tate Britain in the Interpretation and Education department.
