Whitstable Biennale Teachers Resource Pack
The Teachers Resource Pack can be downloaded from this page. The pack has been designed to encourage schools to use the Biennale as a creative resource. While the pack provides a useful counterpart to visiting the show, it can be also used as an educational resource well beyond the time frame of the Biennale. Download the Teachers Resource Pack

Alex Schady - Isolated incidents is a new downloadable audio work by Alex Schady that documents a series of mysterious sightings that have occurred within Whitstable. A group of children were asked to look at a number of Whitstable alleyways and describe in as much detail as possible exactly what they saw. What begins as a factual description of the alleys shifts into a less tangible account of unexplained incidents that appear to have taken place during the recordings. The work can be viewed online or downloaded and used as a tour through the alleys of Whitstable. Visit the Isolated Incidents page.

Artists Abigail Hunt and Abi Gilchrist will be leading a series of alternative tours of the sights, sounds and unsung details of Whitstable. While exploring the town, groups of young people will be busy depositing intriguing tit-bits designed to encourage local residents to embark on a personal tour all of their own.

If you are a school who would like further information on how to get involved with the Biennale programme,or to book for a special tour, please contact info@whitstablebiennale.com
