TEACHING RESIDENCIES
Artreach supports artists to lead groups of children and young people through an engaging and meaningful programme of planned workshops and field trips. Teaching Residencies offer a comprehensive experience of art education, introducing participants to a variety of mediums, methods and techniques, and to a selection of artists and styles. Beyond the teaching of technical skills and insight into art history and aesthetics, artists will encourage participants to use art as a tool for critical exploration of the world, to cultivate their imaginative, creative and reflective skills and to find an individual expressive voice.

NARI GUNJAN, Bihar
In 2017 we initiated a collaboration with Nari Gunjan to work with the girls of the Musahar Dalit community in Bihar. Twice a year we facilitate intensive teaching residencies led by artists for the girls' homes in Patna and Bodhgaya. The objectives are similar to our Fellowship programme - to expose young people to a variety of mediums, techniques, art histories, institutions and guide them through a path of artistic exploration and self-expression.
A team of five students from the Prerna School in Patna were part of the three day Artreach Festival 2017 at Bikaner House. This was their first time in Delhi. They saw their artworks on display, performed on stage during the Festival, took part in the workshops and also got a chance to site-see. In their words:
"We felt like we were in a dream to be in Delhi!'

BOSCO CENTRES, Khirkee Village, Delhi
Since 2017 Artreach has run three successful art education modules at the UNHCR BOSCO centre, Khirkee Village. Participants of these workshops are children and young adults of refugee and asylum seeking families, primarily from Afghanistan, within the neighbourhood of Khirkee Village, Delhi. These modules playfully introduce participants to art, with visual games, movement exercises, short animations and a variety of art media such as clay, mask making, collage and basics in drawing and painting. For the young adults, workshops focus on visual explorations of dreams, ambitions, relationships and ideas of 'home' and 'belonging'.
