Jaime Jackson is a level 1 &2 Arts Award assessor running acredited art training through Trinity College London.
He works on social activism and engagement projects linked to climate crisis, where participants co-create artworks, based on an interpersonal level of communication which connects people to one another and to aspects of their own creativity and imagination that they have not utilized, in order to bring about individual and collective social change.
In relational art, the participants are actively involved in collaboration. Rather than the artwork being an encounter between a viewer and an object, relational art produces encounters between people. Through these encounters, meaning is elaborated collectively, rather than in the space of individual passive viewing. Jaime delivers relational practice workshops and events for schools Universities Colleges, Galleries, and cross-sector partners based on art and activism leading to social change.
