Then you should become an ABSOLUTE BEGINNER.
Absolute beginners is a new art project for Park Royal Industrial Estate, where young people can learn how to make the basic goods that were once produced here – and which we might need to make again in our uncertain future.
We’re now looking for young people to take part in the project, through a series of workshops in April, May, June and July 2021. You must be 17 → 21 and local to Park Royal – that is living in the London Boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, or Kensington and Chelsea, or with a good connection to the area.
Each workshop will run over four Saturday daytime sessions and two evening sessions (actual dates TBC) – and you’ll receive a £250 payment for taking part. Workshops will either take place on zoom or in real life, depending on COVID guidelines at the time.
Deadline is 5PM, Monday 5th April 2021.
