My Generation
An intergenerational arts project
Golden Thread Gallery presents My Generation, an intergenerational arts project, with the North Belfast Senior Citizens Forum (NBSCF), Let Youth Lead (LYL), Ardoyne Shankill Health Partnership (ASHP) and Youth Education Help and Advice (YEHA). My Generation brings older people together with young people from north Belfast and artists from the Golden Thread Gallery to swap clothes, attitudes reminiscences and experiences resulting in both a publication and an exhibition that fuse the experiences and skills of different generations together.
