"In 2022, Wysing Arts Centre and St Peter's School, Huntingdon, began a new partnership which saw artist Rafał Zajko 'in residence' across a school year, running workshops with 270 Year 7 students that led to a significant commission based around their desires for the future. The artist was selected by the students in June 2022, and fifteen months on, a new series of sculptures unfold throughout the school, with a major new artwork situated right at the entrance.
The creative invitations reference Huntingdon's rural surroundings, the school's proximity to light industry, and the artist's family history of working in agriculture and factories in Poland, which has resulted in a lifelong fascination with the relationship between the body and technology.
All works are commissioned by Wysing Arts Centre and St Peter's School, Huntingdon, with the support of the Henry Moore Foundation."
