WhreU@!?

24-28 Oct 05


WhreU@!? is a multimedia arts project about young people and their experiences in terms of geographic location, identity, citizenship, developing skills and just being young – it reflected on life issues. Sampad has teamed up with Punch Records and Birmingham Youth Services to develop and deliver this project, which is funded by Birmingham and Solihull ConneXions and the Urban Fusions Fund.

The project provides young people with an opportunity to learn the latest skills in photography, film-making and music production. The project also enables young people to gain valuable experience in planning an exciting event showcasing their creations. Young people are asked to reflect on local issues concerning their lives in Birmingham. The areas explore include Sparkhill, Sparkbrook and Small Heath. The young people express their life experiences relating to their areas using photographic images, video footage and also by creating their very own songs with their own lyrics! They worked intensely with a professional crew of artists including a photographer, film maker, musicians, music producers/engineers, a rapper and a beat boxer!
