点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Responding to an increasingly polarised political landscape in the UK and prevailing socio-economic challenges, this project seeks to promote arts-based community activism amongst marginalised young people. This will be facilitated by providing an arts and social transformation workshop residency hosted by 20 international change-makers from In Place of War (IPOW)'s global network as well as and national arts activists and academics at Roundhouse, Block 9 (Banksy/Glastonbury) and Goldsmiths. This will be followed by 12 month mentoring period for the 100 participants/organisations based in 10 UK communities. Providing young people with mentors will give them an opportunity to develop their ideas from the residency and pilot them their communities over the following months. Finally, the project will culminate in a semi-permanent exhibition and showcase of artistic creation and production at Block9, Goldsmiths and Coventry City of Culture 2021 and a digital archive of presentations, interviews and creative responses developed by participants.
