In the Picture, Islington 2008/9

Young mums and dads, young carers and young people about to leave care, worked with a team of professional artists to explore and express their experiences, and to create original artworks, which tell the story of their lives now and their hopes for the future. They created a range of work using photography, digital arts and creative writing. The participating young people all face extra responsibilities in their lives, which make realising their aspirations challenging and their achievements inspiring.
The work created was presented as an exhibition at Candid Arts in 2008 and then brought together as a publication, to share the young people’s stories more widely. The exhibition and publication put the young people and you ‘In the picture’.
