Corbin Shaw Exhibition at Flannels Flagship store
In January this year, we hosted acclaimed contemporary artist, Corbin Shaw, and invited a group of Year 8 boys to participate in a workshop working with fabric, to produce a collective tapestry that represents their views on masculinity today.
On Thursday 4th May the collective tapestry was displayed at a multi-media exhibition in London, at Flannels’ flagship department store on Oxford Street, where the boys’ work was projected onto large interactive screens in a spectacular setting. The exhibition ran until 9pm and we were delighted to be personally invited to enjoy the spectacle.
This workshop linked to our School research project focusing on helping boys to cultivate healthy masculinity. The research was approved by the Headmaster, Mark Sturgeon and later contributed to the International Boys’ Schools Coalition Action Research Programme, reaching educators around the world.
