The exhibition, hosted by Newcastle Contemporary Art (NCA) at its gallery on High Bridge, Newcastle, celebrated the legacy of Tyne and Wear’s youth music collective.
Among those involved in creating the exhibition were Dr Wendy Gill, lecturer in community and youth work at the University of Sunderland, and Dr Helen Smith, faculty academic support lead at the University’s Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries and director and curator of NCA.
A group of Sunderland students were recruited as co-researchers; scribes and a photographer, who captured the thoughts and opinions of visitors and how they received the exhibition.
The findings of the research, along with the students’ experience, is now being used to investigate how youth work practices have changed since the 1980s and how they can implement what they have learned from the exhibition into their own professional development.
