Creative Leaders X CONTACT X Made Mcr

Creative Leaders was a programme developed by MADE MCR that would introduce young people aged 14+ to the arts & culture venues on their doorstep, and the opportunities that these venues provide young people.

For this project, I worked with MADE Mcr and CONTACT to create a individual work that fed into a group poem around what it means inspire and be inspired as young creatives.

We spoke about what made them feel inspired as a community, and realised that being inspired in a group often is active listening and allowing people the space to voice their thoughts.  

Together they wrote this beautiful poem: 

I am everyone’s first time living 

I am the space between people’s words 

I am the faith in your leap 

I am the bridge to your success 

I am the warmth from the harsh chaos outside 

I am the stillness in the eye of the storm 

You are the light at the end of the tunnel
