YOUNG ARTIVISTS
The Young Artivist Incubator is our pilot education and outreach programme teaching young people to harness their creativity for good. The project invites young creatives based in Birmingham to join the Calico team, and create their own artivism campaign about a topic that is important to them.
‘You Don’t Look Like You Have An Eating Disorder’ was a campaign by Ruby Abbas (she/her) which used contemporary dance and spoken word, captured through photography and video, to demystify stereotypes around eating disorders.
‘ Black Regency’ is a campaign by Zara Richards Scott (she/they), a young artist, specialising in fashion styling and photography. ‘Black Regency’ uses photography, fashion and poetry to capture and celebrate positive narratives of the black community.
