REmida WA

Visual artist Kieran Stewart will be at REmida during July. As part of a one month REmida Artist Residency he is conducting a community art project entitled Vexilloid.

Kieran will be informally interviewing City of Vincent residents to create flags / banners that reflect the individual’s place and role in the immediate geographic area. Each banner will serve as a marker of heritage, lifestyle, interests, place and space and will be displayed in a public space. The project encourages reflection on the sometimes fragmented nature of contemporary lifestyle and the micro state of community interaction

Kieran Stewart is a Melbourne based visual artist who works across the mediums of video, image making and sculptural installation. His practice revolves around the themes of exhaustive labour and physical and mental exhaustion. Over the past eight years he has shown nationally in both artist-run initiatives and public institutions across Australia.

See  https://vexilloidremida.wordpress.com/ for more details and to register your interest.

Just a reminder that we will be closed Thursday 25th April as it is ANZAC Day.

Hope to see you again the next day we are open.

For your reference we are closed all public holidays.

Come watch as sculptures emerge from mere rubbish, create your own individual piece, contribute to the community art installation, or play in the unique playground that is the REmida Play Experience.

“Documentation becomes richer when we can think, talk and write in groups … bringing groups of educators together to reflect and debate on observations and educational records enriches our thinking.” (Fleet et al. 2011)

Fleet, A., Honig, T., Robertson, J., Semann, A., & Shepherd, S. (2011). What’s pedagogy anyway? Using pedagogical documentation to engage with the Early Years Learning Framework. New South Wales: Children’s Services Central.

Would you like to learn more about documentation?

The Early Years Learning Framework charges educators with the responsibility of “planning, documenting and evaluating children’s learning” (p. 17). Pedagogical documentation is a tool for doing this, showing learning not just after the event but also during the process of learning.

The Perth Reggio Network invites educators to participate in a series of supportive forums for learning the process of documentation.  These forums will take place in Weeks 4 and 9 of each school term.

When: Thursday, 28 February, 6.00pm – 7.30pm

Where: REmida, 1 Prospect Place, West Perth

Plastic Extrusion

Look forward to seeing you this year.

WOW this year at REmida has been very fun and has been a constant source of inspiration in both Education and The Arts.

Thank you to REmida’s suppliers who donate their discards from manufacturing, this act in itself is inspiring a generation of children who interact with these materials in creative and educational ways to value waste and find solutions.

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers for their commitment in presenting REmida materials and the growing friendship we experience as a team.

Thank you to our members for their support and interest in this community project through the great feed back and inspiring reasons you choose REmida materials for your projects.

Thank you to the Councils, Festival organisations, Schools, Daycare centres and teachers that have booked a creative REUSE workshop or PD either at our centre here in West Perth or as an incursion at their premises.

And finally to the REmida staff for the awesome year we have just directed and the amazing plans we have put into place for 2013…

REmida’s website is an inspiring place to check out upcoming events at REmida, in 2013 REmida’s CALENDER will be up and running to inform you all where the free REmida workshops and events here in your community are. And to invite you to our New Artist in Resident exhibitions and performances.
