SUMMARY:Sixteen
DESCRIPTION:What’s it like to be sixteen years old now? In this exhibition\, leading contemporary photographers join forces to present multimedia project\, Sixteen\, exploring the dreams\, hopes and fears of sixteen-year olds across the UK. Photographer Craig Easton conceived this ambitious project following his engagement with sixteen-year olds at the time of the Scottish Referendum. It was the first\, and as yet only\, time that these young people were given the vote in the UK. Building on the success of that work he invited 16 of the UK’s foremost documentary portrait photographers to collaborate with young people across the country to make a visual vox pop on what it means to be sixteen now. \nFree – please drop in \nSupported by a National Lottery grant from Arts Council England
