Installation Artists and Photographers wanted!

Agatha's Closet is working with the Arts Council to develop a bid called Girls World.

In short we are looking to find out who young women are in Torbay and how their lives look to them.

Girls World will be the first event like an International Day of the Girl. It will though make no assumptions about who young women are or what they want. Its an opportunity for them to come together as tell us.

Within a format we will be selecting a day before the event and asking girls on that day to use their phones and camera's to take pictures of their lives. These will all be uploaded to a virtual platform. From here they will be processed and used to create an piece of installation art to be installed in Torbay as an awareness piece.

Over the following 12 months we will stage photography workshops where young women can learn new skills and continue to document these 12 months of their lives. They will also be given assignments including Torbay Young Fashion Week amongst others.

For Girls World 2014 we will make a second wave that slots into the first with an audio book that further brings the photographs young women and their journeys over the year to life.

We are then looking for an Installation Artist - or someone who can support the Tsunami build and photographers who are comfortable sharing their skills behind the camera as well as using software manipulation packages.
