Young people from Northfleet explore sculpture making, sound and video recording, and audio sampling with artist Shepherd Manyika
Do you have Snapchat? Mapping The Fleet was a series of workshops in which young people from Northfleet worked with artist Shepherd Manyika to unpack ideas concerning the local area.
Guided by Shepherd, the participants explored creative approaches to navigating, documenting and responding to their surroundings. Exercises included sculpture making, listening workshops, sound and video recording, and audio sampling.
The sessions culminated in a sharing event in Northfleet where new works, using material created collaboratively through the workshops and edited by Shepherd, were displayed for the participants, and their family and friends.
The workshops took place across the 2021 summer holidays in partnership with the Northfleet community group Confident Children and Parents, an organisation that provides children and their families with a diverse range of activities and projects to help them reach their potential.
