Come to experience and celebrate creativity with our Leaders in Community X Young V&A project.
Young V&A have partnered with Leaders in Community over the last 6 months, meeting regularly to explore creative games, techniques and themes linked to the This Is Me gallery at Young V&A. Illustrator Lucia Vinti has worked with the group along with our Play Champions to share and learn creative processes.
Join us for this sharing event, where you will have the chance to see art made by the women and have a go at some of the games and techniques we have used over the process.
Leaders in Community is a youth-led charity founded by a group of active local young people from Tower Hamlets. They were set up in 2006 by young adults who wanted to improve their local services. They run the Teviot Centre in the heart of the Poplar community. This group are mothers of children who attend the local school, Manorfield Primary School.
Lucia Vinti is a London based illustrator and creative who makes work about people, places, food and culture.
This activity is part of Young V&A’s Power of Play programme. The Power of Play is a collective impact consortium to bring quality learning through play to children in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The programme is funded by LEGO Foundation and co-ordinated by the LEGO Group in London. Young V&A is participating in the programme alongside the Institute of Imagination, Save the Children, EasyPeasy and Ambition Aspire Achieve.
