Children’s Annual Graduation Project with Frieda Ford

This year’s Annual Children’s Graduation will be led by artist Frieda Ford — an Edinburgh based film and textiles artist who has a socially engaged practice.

With an emphasis on collaboratively built knowledge, Frieda explores narratives and leads the creation of collaborative performance arts events centred on folklore and storytelling.

Frieda was an interdisciplinary resident at Hospitalfield in 2023, and was selected for the Young Scottish Filmmaker Prize (GSFF, 2023) and has screened work nationally and internationally. She has facilitated workshops with Artlink, National Galleries Scotland, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop, Jupiter Artland and County Cork National Space Centre, and has a particular love for green screening and tin foil costumes. She was part of the socially engaged project, Your Art World, which is on display at the National Galleries Scotland and is currently Lead Play Artist with Collective Gallery.
