FEATURED CONTRIBUTORSWhat’s Next looks to uncover what young people think about economy, equality, education and digital politics. Each week a different art collective, group of hackers, printers and photographers will take over the gallery space and create work in response to a live Twitter feed as people discuss a specific topic.
“If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.”
The youth of today have a lot on their plate; record tuition fees, fierce competition for jobs at Pound Stretcher and a future of crippling debt. So what do the youth think about it all? Are they angry? Are they more politicised than ever? Or are they more interested in TOWIE and snaring their 15 minutes through whatever means?
There will be a different panel discussion and workshop each week, exploring the themes of Economy, Equality, Digital Politics and Education. These panels are made up of a rich and inspiring collective of thinkers, doers and activists.
