LIVE PROJECTS

In partnership with the writing on the wall festival, ‘I’m Every Woman’ is a collaborative arts programme working with Merseyside based young women aged 13-19 who have been connected to the criminal justice system either as victims or perpetrators. Through a series of workshops around personal development and creative skills (photography, film and creative writing) the group explore how they feel as young women living in the 21st century, and tackle issues of emotional, physical and sexual wellbeing. Encompassing the theme of ‘A Call to Action’ and through working with a photographer the project poses questions to audiences about the experiences, perceptions and role of young women today. Taking iconic symbols of female role models the group project distorted images on to masked faces to present an evoking live performance combining photography with film, VJ-ing and spoken word. Images from the developing project can be seen in the Look11 on-line Gallery. And some of the group share their processes and opinions at the Photography as a call to action session: Perceptions of young people on Tuesday 31^st May at CUC Liverpool. Writing on the wall festival runs from 3^rd May – 28^th May, www.writingonthewall.org.uk
