EMERGENCY PARTY EXISTED TO GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE AGENCY TO SHAPE THEIR FUTURE THROUGH CREATIVITY
Emerge(ncy) Party began online in 2020. It was a space for young people to collaborate with old(er) people to explore big ideas through art, co-directed by Barney McElholm & Bethany West in partnership with so many brilliant people.
Throughout 2021 and 2022, we hung out with 60 teenagers from King Solomon Academy, Trinity Academy, the Limehouse Youth Hub and Compass Collective. In collaboration with adolescent neuroscientist, Maddy Moses-Payne, our project BECOMING explored the unique elements of being a teenager that might make young people particularly good at imagining new futures. This is a record of that journey.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE INVOLVED
