An international poetry exhibition featuring work from young people from all over the world. The project ‘We Own It’ was designed and developed by CICCIC, Matt Bryden and supported by Jackie Clementine from TYCA and the World Arts organisation, WAG. The initial idea was to bring young people together through the medium of poetry and celebrate their unique identity within their communities by creating a safe space using this accessible and creative process.
International artists participating in the programme come from far and wide and include countries from South America, Africa, Eastern Asia , Northern and Eastern Europe. Local children from the following schools also participated in the ‘We Own It’ poetry programme. Pyrland, Bishop Foxes, Kingsmead.
There is a special evening with international guest poets form the world arts organisation alongside performances from the local poets from the schools on Tuesday 30th Sept 7-10pm .
