The Hurt Goes On (emoji)
An analogue foray into a digital world.
Working with Newcastle-based moving image collective Film Bee, 15 young people from Berwick Youth Project have used collective reflection and DIY problem solving to create a series of provocations and installations in the old Clarks shoe shop on Berwick High Street, about reality in a digitalised world, and how the value of images has changed with shifts in technology, particularly social media.
A partnership between Berwick Youth Project, Berwick Visual Arts and Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival.
Berwick Youth Project provide information and support to young people aged 13-25 on absolutely ANYTHING they need help with. The moving image art work was made during a series of evening and summer holiday participatory sessions in collaboration with Mat, Christo and Leah from Film Bee. 11 of the participants also took a trip to Tate Modern in London during the first week of the summer holidays to meet the ARTIST ROOMS team and see work by contemporary artists Jenny Holtzer, Joan Jonas and also Pablo Picasso.
In their own words:
It’s really boring to be a teenager in Berwick and this project gave us the opportunity to try something totally different and learn about art in a new and interesting way. Working with the artists was really cool and we hope lots of people young and older will come and see our installation.
