About
As an exploration of the lives we live on and off-line, this exhibition reveals how some artists and young people in our society are taking the lead, creating art that explores how we can make the internet a more positive and contemplative space. And also, how we can begin to take charge of our futures within it.
Subverting Instagram and other web-based platforms that frequently lead to poor self-esteem, several artworks in this exhibition offer up a variety of creative alternatives. Other artworks explore the complexities of life online as well as ways it can be damaging to our mental health.
Photography, graphics, sculpture, writing and more by artists, young people from Bethlem Adolescent Unit at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and young people from across South London.
