ROZENN LOGAN
Curator & Creative Producer
ENGAGEMENT PROJECTS
I have devised and delivered a broad range of arts engagement programmes and projects across gallery, community, school, festival and charity settings. As Curator of Learning at the Saatchi Gallery I oversaw an artist-led, accessible arts engagement programme for families, schools, local communities and adults. More recently, I've worked in a freelance capacity delivering youth art and activism programmes with In Place of War, as well as the Mockingbird NEST programme - an artist-led arts programme for young people in care. A selection of the projects I've managed and produced are below.
Mockingbird NEST Programme
From 2019 - early 2025 I was the Lead Producer of the Mockingbird Nest Programme - a multi-disciplinary arts programme for young people in care and their carers, funded by The Fostering Network. This involved creating a safe space for collaboration, experimentation and expression, and working with the young people to co-design the artist-led programme. The impact report on the NEST Programme, produced by The Fostering Network, can be read here, and a selection of the workshops can be found below.

Connecting Creative Communities:
Detroit x Manchester

Connecting Creative Communities was a US Embassy-funded project that brought together a group of youth art and community organisations from Detroit, USA, with UK youth arts orgs in Manchester in November 2023. The aim of the project was to widen horizons, share good practice, co-create new strategies to develop creative civic leadership amongst young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and to develop connections and a growing network of incredible organisations and young people. This was achieved through knowledge exchange, co-created workshops, site visits, panel discussions and curated events. For more information visit: www.inplaceofwar.net/manchester-x-detroit
100 Agents of Change
The 100 Agents of Change programme was In Place of War’s first major UK-based programme, funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and delivered in 2021.​ Partnering with 11 grassroots UK youth organisations and In Place of War's international change-maker network, we developed and delivered a programme that brought Global South knowledge to the UK through an online residency programme, mentoring, seed funding & community projects. Forming a Youth Advisory Board (YAB) to advise on the design, the project brought together change-makers (artists, activists & cultural leaders) from conflict zones in 26 countries, all working to create lasting change in their local communities, to share practice with young people in the UK. The project impact report can be found here: 100 Agents of Change Report.

In 2022, In Place of War was a recipient of the Award for Civic Arts Organisations by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, in recognition of the 100 Agents of Change Programme.

JP START PROGRAMME
The JP Start Programme was a 3 year arts project involving 1,350 secondary school students, supported by the Jack Petchey Foundation and Children & the Arts. The project worked with schools in London suburbs and enabled students to travel outside of their immediate locality to engage with central London cultural institutions. Each cohort of students worked with the Saatchi Gallery and practising artists over the course of an academic year. The programme involved artist-led workshops in the gallery and at school, artist talks, a CPD programme for art teachers and large scale exhibitions at the Saatchi Gallery and in public locations.
ART PRIZE FOR SCHOOLS OUTREACH PROGRAMME
The Saatchi Gallery / Deutsche Bank Art Prize for Schools was an international arts prize open to primary, secondary and sixth form colleges from around the world. Alongside it, an outreach programme offered artist-led workshops to pupils and teachers from schools in socioeconomically deprived areas of London. The workshops presented creative thinking tools for working on tired curriculum topics when resources, space and time are limited. The workshops also introduced students and teachers to the work and processes of contemporary artists.
