Teachers’ CPDL: Yto Barrada
Wed 26 Nov 2025, 5-7pm

Adults take part in a creative workshop together. They are building a colourful, abstract sculpture on a table.

Free, booking required

Primary and secondary school teachers from all subjects are invited to join our twilight workshop led by artist Emma Ogawa Todd.

The evening will feature hands-on activities, an insight into Emma’s practice, and a guided tour of the Yto Barrada exhibition Thrill, Fill and Spill.

Come to engage with the exhibition, connect with fellow educators, and leave with fresh ideas, inspiration, and practical tools for your teaching.

SLG’s programmes for teachers are designed to support individual practice development, empower educators to drive positive change in their schools, and promote the wellbeing of all students. Through twilight workshops, study days, and online sessions, we focus on developing skills in inclusive and anti-racist creative practices. Our goal is to foster a supportive community where teachers can connect, share, and grow together.

ABOUT EMMA OGAWA TODD

Emma Ogawa Todd explores cultural intersections and indigenous beliefs of Shintoist cosmology. Tracing family histories and archives, she integrates cross-cultural symbolism of her mixed Japanese-English heritage into her work. She uses found and natural materials, influenced by the belief in kami (spirits in all things) to explore ways of coexisting with the environment. These animist principals guide her interest in cyclical relationships with the land, which she channels through processes like foraging, upcycling, natural dyeing, carving, weaving, and stitching.
