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?

akt is a charity that has been providing routes to safe housing, support and secure futures for LGBTQ+ young people since 1989. They a UK-wide charity with centres in four major cities, including Newcastle upon Tyne. More information about their work can be found here
