Camila Revoredo and Bridge Academy

Camila Revoredo, the first member of CYcLE CLUB to collaborate with the programme has invited Year 9 & 10 pupils of Bridge Academy Secondary School, Hackney to explore the processes and ideas associated with Jessica Warboys’ exhibition VICTORY PARK TREE PAINTING.

The aim of the CLUB meet is to broaden pupils’ understanding of watching film inside an art gallery context, enabling them to evaluate the immersive qualities of ‘Trilogy’ and to compare this to the effects of watching film in the cinema or at home.

Running parallel to the CYcLE CLUB meet, Revoredo, artist photographer will set up the VICTORY PARK TRAIL, where pupils will be encouraged to explore the environs of Victoria Park. The trail aims to highlight the ongoing change and the subsequent loss of the area’s rich history. Focusing on the exhibition as an unofficial archive for East London’s ‘Victoria Park’, this regularly visited public resource for the pupils is currently undergoing an enormous re-landscaping project. The park is both a subject and a space for performance for Jessica Warboys and pupils will draw from the artist’s rich and expansive practice, exploring the strong visual and poetic language in the exhibition. As a group they will make a cyanotype print, an ancient form of photography, regularly used by Warboys. They will learn to expose their images on fabric outdoors and utilize the effects of the sun. As a CYcLE CLUB member Camila will spend one day working with pupils inside the gallery and one day working at Bridge Academy school.

Born in Brazil, artist, Camila Revoredo studied Languages and Literature, ‘Universidade de Sao Paulo’ and  BA(Hons) Photography at ‘The Arts University College at Bournemouth’ in 2010, and later continued her studies in Art Therapy at Hertfordshire University in 2011. Selected group shows include ‘Sint Lukas Hogeschool’, Brussels, and Bienal MerCUsul, Casa da Xiclet, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Revoredo lives and works in London.
