Wise Up
A digital animation project by Alinah Azadeh, as part of Stream's Imagine East Greenwich programme, with young people aged 12-14 from CYPSEG youth club in East Greenwich
The artist worked with the young people to research and discuss issues around sexual health and relationships with the assistance of a youth worker. They went on to learn new skills in digital imaging, graphics and animation to create interactive digital animations, which included recordings of their discussions of the issues and their own relationships.
The final animations explore relationships, peer pressure, sexually transmitted diseases and contraception from the point of view of the young people.
The project was launched at The [email protected] and has since been shown at various youth events across the Borough.
