Goldsmiths CCA Schools Workshops Session 2: Paper Tiger Television

From Weds 11 Feb to Thurs 16 Apr, schools are invited to discover the work of Paper Tiger Television in their first UK exhibition, , at Goldsmiths CCA.

Paper Tiger Television are a US-based collective that focuses on the production and distribution of public access television programmes and media. Founded in 1981, the collective emerged from a period when the political energies and optimism of the 1960s met the possibilities of newly accessible video technologies. For more than four decades, Paper Tiger Television have been critiquing corporate control of the communications industry through all forms of media (news, advertising, magazines, internet), and produced a radical and DIY alternative, which aimed to significantly increase media literacy amongst audiences. The exhibition will feature around 40 programmes, as well as handmade backdrops, graphic publications, and archival material.

We will be continuing our format of a two-part workshop. Schools are able to sign up for one, or both sessions (recommended).
Session 2: Schools will be invited to visit Goldsmiths CCA. Students will venture into the galleries to view the exhibition, taking part in an observation-based activity to guide them. They will then gain insight into Paper Tiger Television’s collective process of making in a creative activity, with an introduction to ‘open brainstorming’, before creating their own class produced Television programme, complete with costume and set design, prop making, and collaborative performance.

The workshops will be led by the CCA's Education Team. Sessions are able to be tailored to align with student's key stage. Sessions have been designed in collaboration with Paper Tiger Television, as well as MFA Curating students, Christina Purvis, Charlotte Kaczmarek, and Eve O'Connor as part of Goldsmiths CCA’s collaboration with the MFA Curating course.
The Galleries are wheelchair accessible. If you would like to request assistance, or discuss access, please get in touch. To share feedback, subscribe for updates, or for any questions you may have, please email our Engagement Producer, Adrianna Whittingham at [email protected].
