Time of Our Lives
2010
Turner Contemporary, Margate, Kent
Teenage Bedroom Installation / virtual bedroom
What is it like to be a teenager today? Is it different to teenage experiences in the past?
This award winning project was run in collaboration with with BBC Radio Kent, the University of Kent’s Schools of Engineering and Digital Arts and Kent County Council’s Youth Arts Service to explore these questions.
Local young (13-25) and older (60 and over) people came together to share their experiences of being a teenager. Through Time of Our Lives they worked together to create art work, gather and write stories, develop new skills and meet new people.
The final exhibition celebrating the achievements of everyone involved in this intergenerational project was held in March 2010 in Droit House on Margate pier. The exhibition featured the hybrid teenage bedroom created by the group and the ‘interactive teenage bedroom’ created with the University of Kent.
