‘INCIDENT’ YOUTH PROJECT
   |
Eight young people from the local area of Hanover and Tarner came to Phoenix Brighton to look at Sarah Pickering’s exhibition and participate in a workshop led by Phoenix artist, Angela Carter. The young people spent time considering Pickering’s photographs followed by a visit to Hove Fire Station’s Smoke House (a space used to train firemen). They explored the space and took their own photographs using disposable cameras. They also had the chance to get on board a fire engine and try out the training pole! Afterwards, they came back to Phoenix Brighton where Angela led a workshop inspired by the marks in Pickering’s photographs using sandpaper, knitting needles and forks to scratch into inked acetate as well as drawings on paper, using their hands with charcoal and boot polish to create mono drawings. They worked together as a team to put together a small exhibition of their work, themed on the idea of a forensic/photographic laboratory.
The workshop was part of the ‘Young Phoenix’ programme.
The participants were: Sara Samson - Outreach co-ordinator |
