Newcastle City Council x White Ribbon Project

I was commissioned as artist-in-residence with Newcastle City Council, working with the Youth Voice group and the White Ribbon Project to explore gender-based violence. They facilitated writing workshops and directed short films with Central Studios, culminating in a screening and panel at Newcastle Council Chambers with commissioners, councillors and GBV professionals.
This was a brilliant project, the young people involved were outstandingly emotionally and intellectually intelligent, generous and open minded. They are a group of young people who come together, because they are passionate, empathetic and want to make change in their city - and they threw themselves into the writing, performing and film-making elements !
