WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? YAK ART GROUP DISCUSSION! The FINAL EDITED PODCAST!

Here’s our WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? YAK ART GROUP DISCUSSION! The FINAL EDITED PODCAST! Originally recorded on the 26.9.19 discussing our statements which are on our designed posters we have exhibited the ideas behind them what they are representing to us individually this was the first podcast we did together as YAK the group so I hope you guys can give it a listen check it out that would be much appreciated considering that this was our first YAK podcast we did together as group as a suggested idea I thought off since I have got a art podcast currently so I thought it be a fun idea to try out and luckily it got a successful agreed turn out! Which I hope we are able to improve as this one couldn’t been better looking back insight of course and hopefully we be able to try out another one in the future potentially to learn from this first podcast we’ve made creatively as I love podcasting as format personally since starting making my own art based podcast which had been really interesting getting creative friends new creatives I’ve met on to talk about their creative stories as love to tell a story personally with my own sculptural 3D work and this is way of helping to share another creatives story. Also side note all the information below I’ve copied from the Firstsite Colchester Art Gallery website telling you all about YAK to help give you a lot more context in detail and this Exhibition of ours. Starting off with the subjects of our statements which our posters are themed around. Being Climate change, politics, rights, capitalism and health – these are the pressing issues facing young people today, according to Young Art Kommunity (YAK), Firstsite’s young people peer-led group which organises events and activities within the gallery and the wider community. We as YAK have teamed up with ‘flyingleaps’, a project that invites artists to produce work in response to contemporary events and ideas, to produce the new exhibition What’s the problem?. Comprising a series of posters, each work responds to members’ personal concerns, bringing themes and ideas into stark focus with high impact designs incorporating text, image and colour. Thanks The artwork has been produced through a series of workshops with flyingleaps artists Mark Titchner, Heath Kane and Dr. D, and founder Adrian Burnham, using Firstsite’s Year of Digital theme as inspiration. Y.A.K meet weekly during term time, and their sessions are open to everyone ages 15 – 25. Get involved www.flyingleaps.co.uk
