Teenagers of Manchester & New York City Unite!

Summer 2013 and we have teamed up with Rush Philanthropic Youth Arts Centre in Brooklyn, New York City to explore what it is like to be a teenager in Manchester and NYC. We will be looking at language, music, street style, history and culture and creating a digital map of our city that tells the story of what it’s like to be a teenager in Manchester today.

On the project we;

• Learned about life in Brooklyn and what is important to teens
• Worked with MC Visceral to create a Manchester poem
• Created a visual timeline of key historical events and inventions
• Made an Urban Dictionary and compared the language with slang from NYC
• Visited Museum of Science & Industry to find out about our industrial heritage
• Interviewed teenagers around Manchester
• Screen printed a map that will be sent over to Rush
