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

SUMMARY:China in Drag: Travels with a Cross-Dresser
DESCRIPTION:Michael Bristow\, BBC World Service’s Asia and Pacific editor will talk about his eight-year stay in Beijing and why he decided to write about the country’s modern history. To assist him he asked for the help of his language teacher\, who was born just two years after the communist party came to power in 1949. The changing fortunes of his life have mirrored the ups and downs of his country\, which has moved from communist poverty to capitalist wealth in just a single generation. It came as a surprise though\, to learn that the teacher was also a cross-dresser. Michael gradually realised that the teacher’s story is the story of modern China. \nThe talk is free to attend and everyone is welcome!
