Artist group DARTER: Chloe Cooper, Phoebe Davies, Louisa Martin and artist Shiraz Bayjoo present new work following year-long residencies in east London schools. The work emerges from investigations into the social, physical and historical contexts of the schools and their communities.

Bayjoo’s Bow Boys Archive explores histories and notions of collective memory and place. Students’ family stories are set against a history of migration and the fight for human rights. The work includes film, photography and painting in an emotionally and politically charged installation.

DARTER’s work includes an oversized document which uses the absurd to question formal education practices and school culture, alongside a video and a sound work that deliberate over the role of artists in schools.

Artists’ residencies took place at the Bridge Academy, Hackney, and Bow School of Maths and Computing, Tower Hamlets.
