About me:
The Young Researchers initiative at the British Library gives young people aged 16 and above the opportunity to explore our collections and exhibitions through extended project work, after school and during the holidays. Each project is linked with an exhibition and is led by a creative educator. A new Young Researchers project will be running from December, accompanying our latest exhibition, Breaking the Rules: the Printed Face of the European Avant Garde 1900-1937. This exhibition will explore the first four decades of the twentieth century, during which time traditional hierarchies within most art forms were challenged through the development of movements such as Cubism, Futurism, Dadaism and Surrealism. The project will be run by our new Pearson Creative Research Fellow, Chino Otsuka. Participants will explore the themes of the exhibition not only by researching the collection and meeting with curators, publishers and artists, but also through their own creative practice, including photography, drawing and creative writing.Who I'd like to meet:
Other young people with an interest in art, design, history or politics, museums, galleries or libraries, or those interested in taking part in creative projects at the British Library.Details

Have spoken to Alex (17th March) and she is going to upload Sara's photos by end of this week. Thanks Alex!
Regards, Angela
On our last workshop with Sian Bonnell, there was a young lady photographer there from the BL. Is it possible to have her images uploaded onto our pic area? as I'm sure she took loads of good photos that we might want to use for our project

Thank you Chino. Katie
Dear All,
As part of this project we are able to swing you some free tickets to any British Library events (at least if they're not booked up already). If you are interested - follow the link below to the event page and let Chino know, at the next session, which you would like to attend.

Thanks Amanda, will try that. Angela
hey, To people who want to add a sound file i have been trying to find the website i used to create a HTML for sound files when i had myspace i cant seem to find it because i cant quite remember the name of it! when i do ill see whether it will still work... but if you can find a website that you can upload your music and it will create a HTML ...
then all you do is go to edit profile and copy and paste the HTML/URL of your sound file into one of the boxes that says About me/anybox and then click ok.. when you return to the profile page it should be uploaded to a song!
Its been ages since ive done it! and im almost sure thats right!

I will add my final Avant garde Photo soon. Katie
Thought this was really great - and well performed - although I think this would lend itself to really interesting visual print! Alex
You can't actually get rid of the age/sex information. However, you could make the age unbelievably high. 'Break the Rules'

Just to refresh your memory about manifestos. The orange group created their own manifesto about people walking slowly, see what you think. Thanks Wendy for scribing this and sending it to me:-
The manifesto of the people who hate those who walk slowly....
This group believes that slow walking people do not have the right to
share pavement space with those of us who move at a respectful pace.
MOVE or die.
why are you walking so slowly? Faster! FASTER! Stop all of the
procrastinating and you will get to your destination quicker.
You move so SLOWLY and it is ANNOYING!
And do you have to insist of taking up so much room so that we can't get
past you?
We believe that slow walking people should be hit around the back of the
head with something heavy to make them SPEED UP!
What are you waiting for? Faster! FASTER
