"The physical nature of the project was inspiring and fun for everyone and also contained within it a kind of message. If we are going to change the direction of our climate we are going to have to do it for real too - in the real world, by doing real stuff."
"We wanted them to be honest about it, to be hopeful, annoyed or make fun of it and stick two fingers up at the forces behind it. We want people to see the prints and feel a bit less paralysed by fear, a bit more mischievous and a bit more hopeful that there are lots of people who want things to get better."
The organisation ran workshops in youth clubs across Sheffield, engaging over 70 young people and forming a core group of around 20 students from different schools. Participants were tasked with drawing and developing printed posters that were exposed onto screens at Juice Studios in Hull. Sessions to print the posters were busy, messy, fun and somewhat chaotic, emphasising hands-on, physical creation. Student prints ranged from stark pleas like 'Pause the world' to tongue-in-cheek statements, with minimal interference to preserve authenticity. The project sought to transform fear into mischief and hope, encouraging visible, real-world responses to climate concerns.
