Baraka Blue’s [writing] is a brilliant and profound contemporary reflection on the very best of Sufi poetry, and itself an extension of that tradition. A thousand years ago, Sufi poetry found sublime expressions in Persian, and then Urdu and Turkish among other languages. Today, we are witnessing the emergence of Sufi poetry in English. Creating work with limited resources sometimes leads to an unexpected outcome. This piece includes an old paint rag donated by a student and some lace curtain material.

From laying Remembrance Day poppy wreaths to watching parades, there are lots of ways that people in Britain commemorate Remembrance Day each year. My ‘to go’ kit is generally a small bag. My sewing machine and a few paints and threads at the time were stored under a 6-foot table which had to doubled as a ‘wet area’ and a stitching space. Mark-Making with a variety of media from paint to dye to basic drawing media…whatever I have to hand. Making, travelling, teaching and writing is a juggling act, which when combined with building work at home, meant my own stash of materials was in storage and inaccessible and space was at a premium.

Good Mood is a Fond Memory

Not only does Dave create Remembrance Day Poppy Art, in memory of those who have served or fallen in recent, modern day conflicts, his Poppy Art is also often inspired by historical military events. One important moment that happens every year on Remembrance Day is a two-minute silence. Held at 11:00 a.m. on the 11 November, the silence takes place across the country. Many TV channels and radio stations ask audience members to join them in holding a silence.

Remembrance Day Early Writing Activities - This activity encourages pupils to write some properly punctuated short sentences using vocabulary related to the topic of Remembrance Day, such as 'wreath' and 'memorial'.Fostering a culture of remembrance is crucial to the future of our democracies,’ write Schafhausen and Bischoff in the accompanying exhibition literature. ‘It creates awareness not only of the historical conditions that have led to exclusion, degradation and destruction, but also of our responsibility for ensuring that these processes – created and influenced by people – do not repeat themselves.’ Installing a contemporary art exhibition within a permanent museum display designed to foster an engagement with history engenders certain risks – for instance, that one or the other might appear damaged or exploited. In ‘Tell me about yesterday tomorrow’, however, both elements come together on equal terms, complementing each other in unexpected and productive ways.
