Our Youth Collective, for young people aged 15 – 25 years, meets regularly to create, discuss, experience and encounter the visual arts, offering opportunities to be involved behind the scenes at Camden Arts Centre to further career development, skills and knowledge.
In the autumn term of Youth Collective, the group looked at the possibilities for making and experiencing art and experimented with photography, text, sound and the body as an instrument. Led by artists Shepherd Manyika and Lucy Joyce, the group discussed what makes an image powerful, and how and whether art can reflect the current times.
Activities included an alternative tour of Matt Mullican and Bonnie Camplin’s exhibitions with performance, experimental mark making by creating our own tools and devices and collaborative installations.
