Hubs

Bellshill and Mossend YMCA, North Lanarkshire

The young people involved in this project created a series of posters to explore what sectarianism means to them and the impact that it has on community life. They wanted to know what other people in their community thought about the issue of sectarianism so they created a pop-up gallery to display their posters in a local supermarket, using the images to engage shoppers in discussions about sectarianism in the community. Following the engagement with the community the young people redesigned their posters to incorporate wider community views and experiences. They then created a set of canvases with the support of a community artist and displayed these to the public.
