Here you can see us going through our art-filled newspaper What’s All the Fuss About to select images for inclusion in an exhibition that we will be installing in college in the Autumn. The group were really clear about the messages they wanted to promote and it was wonderful for us to have an opportunity to bring this gorgeous content back to life.
This content was originally commissioned by the Student Social Action Group working on our Let’s Talk About Sex project. Young people from Bishop Auckland College The Northern School of Art and Durham University highlighted what had been missing in their school Sex Education and the problematic sexual attitudes and behaviours they wanted to challenge and chose artists Lou Brown Sofia Barton Bettie Hope Hanley James Mernagh and Beka Haytch to capture what they wanted to share with their peers.
You can read about the original project on our website (where you can also find a link to the digital exhibition featuring the artworks).
Thank you very much Simon Forrest for inviting us back!
