NCA Presents
Can an idea change the world?
Wednesday 17th - Saturday 20th April
Meeting Room , high bridge works
Open: Wed - Fri, 12 - 1pm & Sat, 4 - 7pm*
*It is possible to view parts of the exhibition during the normal High Bridge Works opening hours (9am - 5pm on weekdays), but as the exhibition is in a bookable space, we cannot guarantee full access to the exhibition apart from the times stated above.
The youth group at akt Newcastle have spent the past 3 months on an art project exploring the theme of identity. The group created artwork reflecting on self-expression and collective identity.
Messages that the group are using this exhibition to convey are: you have one life – be who you want to be; mental health matters; do your part to create
change.
The exhibition poses several questions for the viewer to reflect on:
How do you describe identity?
What represents you as a whole?
What is something that changed you?
What fuels you?
What makes you feel proud of yourself?
