SUMMARY:Screening - Manifesto
DESCRIPTION:Ane Hjort Guttu’s film Manifesto\, 2020\, (27 min) speculates on the aims and purposes of institutional art education. Newly migrated into a university and an open-plan campus building\, an art school feels cornered by a suffocating culture of surveillance and administration. Staff and students find ways to subvert control through secret operations. Drawing on her own experiences as an art teacher\, Ane Hjort Guttu explores what is lost when creativity is replaced by order and provides action plans for how to be the playful rebel. \nAne Hjort Guttu is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Oslo. She works across a range of media\, with a particular focus on text and moving images. Her practice explores the relationship between freedom and power\, how we navigate public space\, individual autonomy\, and the social\, economic\, and political conditions of art. \nFrom 13 to 20 March 2026 Ane Hjort Guttu will be leading the eighth Cornwall Workshop\, a weeklong intensive residential workshop for artists\, curators and writers based in Cornwall and the South West. The workshop is organised by CAST and hosted at Kestle Barton on the Lizard peninsula.

SUMMARY:CAST Saturday Art Club
DESCRIPTION:CAST’s Saturday art sessions for eleven- to sixteen-year-olds are structured around engagement with a wide range of artists\, many of whom have studios at or close links with CAST. \nLed by artist and learning specialist Kate Turner\, Saturday Art Club members meet in a studio at CAST each week to work with artists\, learn new skills\, develop a wide range of projects\, and explore their creativity. Due to growing demand for places the Saturday Art Club now has two groups\, one meeting in the mornings from 10.30am to 1pm to and the other meeting in the afternoons from 2pm to 4.30pm. \nAll sessions are free with materials provided. \nTo join the Saturday Club or find out more please contact kate@castcornwall.art. \nThe Saturday Art Club began in May 2021 with a pilot programme of six art sessions\, thanks to support from the Garcia Family Foundation. These initial sessions ran from May to July and proved so successful that a second pilot was run in September and October 2021. By November 2021\, funding from Arts Council England was secured to allow the program to continue through the summer of 2022. In 2023 and 2024\, the programme was also supported by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. \n24 January\, 31 January\, 7 February\, 25 April\, 2 May\, 9 May\, 16 May\, 6 June\, 13 June\, 20 June

SUMMARY:Screening - Manifesto
DESCRIPTION:Ane Hjort Guttu’s film Manifesto\, 2020\, (27 min) speculates on the aims and purposes of institutional art education. Newly migrated into a university and an open-plan campus building\, an art school feels cornered by a suffocating culture of surveillance and administration. Staff and students find ways to subvert control through secret operations. Drawing on her own experiences as an art teacher\, Ane Hjort Guttu explores what is lost when creativity is replaced by order and provides action plans for how to be the playful rebel. \nAne Hjort Guttu is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Oslo. She works across a range of media\, with a particular focus on text and moving images. Her practice explores the relationship between freedom and power\, how we navigate public space\, individual autonomy\, and the social\, economic\, and political conditions of art. \nFrom 13 to 20 March 2026 Ane Hjort Guttu will be leading the eighth Cornwall Workshop\, a weeklong intensive residential workshop for artists\, curators and writers based in Cornwall and the South West. The workshop is organised by CAST and hosted at Kestle Barton on the Lizard peninsula.
