Memento is a contemplation of the human condition: how we act and react to the inescapable forces that shape us. Memento has been developed out of research into the plight of illegal immigrants, such as the Chinese who remain hidden in society (think of the tragedy that beset the cockle pickers), the faujis, from India as well as the “burnt ones” - young Moroccans, who often take great risks in the hope of living a more significant and meaningful life. Some, attempting to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, perish along the way.

Memento has been developed out of research into the plight of illegal immigrants, such as the Chinese who remain hidden in society (think of the tragedy that beset the cockle pickers), the faujis, from India as well as the “burnt ones” - young Moroccans, who often take great risks in the hope of living a more significant and meaningful life. Some, attempting to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, perish along the way.

After a special masterclass by Burgerman, the students experienced “Kicks n Canvas” - an exhibition in London, to open their eyes to the work of street artists to influence their own style and designs. Through using the arts as a platform to raise aspiration, the students have grown in confidence; developed their communicative, collaborative and leadership skills, and become very proud of their achievements.

Slam (18) Sunday 26 September, 2pm / Dir: Marc Levin (100 mins) Slam tells the story of Ray Joshua, an original, gifted young MC trapped in a war-zone housing project known as Dodge City. Unable to find a job, Ray copes with the despair and poverty of his neighbourhood by using his wits and verbal talent. While participating in a drug deal gone bad, Ray is caught by the police and sent to prison. When his lawyer explains the judicial system & his ‘options’ (or lack thereof) Ray despairs, particularly as he is being pressured to participate in a drug culture he has strived to get away from. But Ray’s recent experiences have precipitated an awakening of sorts, and he sees the truth behind the game... unwilling to believe that his options are limited to the choices he’s being presented with, he makes the radical choice to retaliate with words, and speak the truths that he’s witnessed. Winner of Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival and the Camera d’Or at Cannes.

Our Doodle World Holgate School / 19 - 29 August 2010 The Holgate School in Hucknall were invited to participate in a Government initiative, and opted to use their specialism in the Arts to deliver an enrichment scheme, focusing on raising aspiration. Seventeen Year 7 students were carefully selected for the project: To organise a private view and art exhibition. The students were given seven weeks to organise a private view; create their own art to be displayed in the exhibition and produce a promotional film. The inspiration for their work came from meeting the legend Jon Burgerman - a Nottingham based artist, famed for his doodling, drawing, scrawling, illustration, art, animation and character design. After a special masterclass by Burgerman, the students experienced “Kicks n Canvas” - an exhibition in London, to open their eyes to the work of street artists to influence their own style and designs. Through using the arts as a platform to raise aspiration, the students have grown in confidence; developed their communicative, collaborative and leadership skills, and become very proud of their achievements.

Slam (18) Sunday 26 September, 2pm / Dir: Marc Levin (100 mins) Slam tells the story of Ray Joshua, an original, gifted young MC trapped in a war-zone housing project known as Dodge City. Unable to find a job, Ray copes with the despair and poverty of his neighbourhood by using his wits and verbal talent. While participating in a drug deal gone bad, Ray is caught by the police and sent to prison. When his lawyer explains the judicial system & his ‘options’ (or lack thereof) Ray despairs, particularly as he is being pressured to participate in a drug culture he has strived to get away from. But Ray’s recent experiences have precipitated an awakening of sorts, and he sees the truth behind the game... unwilling to believe that his options are limited to the choices he’s being presented with, he makes the radical choice to retaliate with words, and speak the truths that he’s witnessed. Winner of Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival and the Camera d’Or at Cannes.

Our Doodle World Holgate School / 19 - 29 August 2010 The Holgate School in Hucknall were invited to participate in a Government initiative, and opted to use their specialism in the Arts to deliver an enrichment scheme, focusing on raising aspiration. Seventeen Year 7 students were carefully selected for the project: To organise a private view and art exhibition. The students were given seven weeks to organise a private view; create their own art to be displayed in the exhibition and produce a promotional film. The inspiration for their work came from meeting the legend Jon Burgerman - a Nottingham based artist, famed for his doodling, drawing, scrawling, illustration, art, animation and character design. After a special masterclass by Burgerman, the students experienced “Kicks n Canvas” - an exhibition in London, to open their eyes to the work of street artists to influence their own style and designs. Through using the arts as a platform to raise aspiration, the students have grown in confidence; developed their communicative, collaborative and leadership skills, and become very proud of their achievements.

Suki Chan’s practice combines light, moving image, electronics and sound within mixedmedia installations to explore our physical and psychological experience of space. In a London of fast-blinking lights and speeding commuters, cars and trains leave luminous comet-trails marking their passage through the night, and individuals reflect on freedom in the urban metropolis, or seek escape from the repetitive habits and conditions it enforces.

Memento is a contemplation of the human condition: how we act and react to the inescapable forces that shape us. Memento has been developed out of research into the plight of illegal immigrants, such as the Chinese who remain hidden in society (think of the tragedy that beset the cockle pickers), the faujis, from India as well as the “burnt ones” - young Moroccans, who often take great risks in the hope of living a more significant and meaningful life. Some, attempting to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, perish along the way.
