The Way I See It, a collection of art, photography, music, poetry and online journals encapsulating the experiences of young people during the pandemic, will launch on Google’s Arts and Culture platform later this year.

The collection has been curated in collaboration with five cultural organisations in England which set children creative challenges during lockdown combined with new work produced through a series of summer challenges.

The partner organisations are:

BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, based in Newcastle, which will work nationally and locally through their Foundation Club and Art Lab initiatives, delivering free summer workshops (in person and online) that will encourage exploring, making, exchanging, inspiring and collaborating to create sculpture, poetry, film, spoken word, animation and sound pieces about the things children and young people care most about right now and the things they might want to change.
