WOLVERHAMPTON ART GALLERY – YOUNG PEOPLE FROM WOLVERHAMPTON
Wolverhampton Art Gallery - 28 Mar 09 - 25 Apr 09
Organised by the Education and Outreach Team, the exhibition Photo ID: Young People from Wolverhampton displays artworks created during half-term workshops by young people from the local Sikh communities photographed as part of the exhibition Interface by Michelle Sank.
Led by the documentary photographer Michelle Sank, the workshops allowed young people to interpret their understanding of their culture, religion and personalities in the City of Wolverhampton, and, more generally, how traditional and Western values become linked.
Sank also asked the young people questions including what would they like to be when they grow up and if they felt they fitted into society as a whole. Through the photographic medium, Sank enabled the groups to develop their skills, practically through learning about photography, but also helping to build confidence through discussion and expression of their visual identity.
