Longsight, Manchester on a drizzly March Saturday. A number of young people part of a Positive activities group meet to install their work, a culmination of 4 weeks work in design,photography, discussion and boxed works. An exhibition in a youth shelter and an art treasure hunt around the park. Its a good job that the organisers of this project and the young people too trust me enough to come up with ideas which seem bizarre and then work with me to see them through to fruition.
20 digital photo frames with images created during the project and words like hope and endurance on them. All things the group felt young people were good at.
