Laurence Dube-Rushby's work invites to explore cultural, personal, and local identities, investigating the potential for disruption to generate agency in current educational, social, political, and cultural contexts.

 

Her process has evolved from craft, textile and painting to mixed-media installations and performance that come to shape through collective participation. The outcome combines aesthetic and public engagement to reflect an embodied social construction of knowledge.

"I have worked as a freelance artist and consultant, in education and community settings for 28 years, with a focus on developing opportunities for young people to engage in the Arts. I am a strong advocate for the Arts as a powerful learning tool. This became the focus of my PHD research study in Creative Pedagogies, for which I was awarded a studentship with Arts University Bournemouth and University of the Arts London. The research investigates the potential pedagogical role and place of live art in the current context of secondary education."
