This series of conversations with art educators expand on the ideas presented by Visualise: The Runnymede Trust and Freelands Foundation 2024 report on Race & Inclusion in Secondary School Art Education. In this episode 'Visualise the Future' we are joined by Carey Robinson, Deputy Director, Learning and Public Programmes at The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. She has formerly held strategic, curatorial, and creative producer roles at leading cultural institutions including Tate, the Institute of Contemporary Arts, the South London Gallery, and The Courtauld. Carey and I reflect and expand on the reports recommendations for the future and imagine a new direction for art education in the U.K.
