Transformative Futures
Organised by Camden Arts Centre
A free weekly collective for young people to think, discuss and create together.
About this event
A series of free artist-led workshops for people aged 15-25, Transformative Futures offers an opportunity to learn new skills and approaches to art-making to support young people in an increasingly uncertain world.
The precarious landscape of modern life continues to affect lives and livelihoods globally with young people often underrepresented in the conversations that shape our collective experiences. Transformative Futures aims to empower and amplify the voices of young people through sessions that explore alternative ways of living, thinking and being through the lens of contemporary art.
Running until June 2023, this year’s onsite workshops will be hosted in Camden Art Centre’s Drawing Studio by artists Becky Lyon and Adam Moore.
The artists will guide the group through different ideas, themes and provocations each week to encourage participants to build awareness around different types of art, concepts and techniques. Each session is designed to allow participants to develop new skills, learn about the art world and use their passions and interests to create exciting artwork.
Transformative Futures is an ongoing project supporting emerging creativity in our local community and beyond, further programming including online sessions and opportunities will occur throughout the year.
Please see our website for more details.
