GYG Talks Art with Sadie Hennessy

As part of Estuary 2021, Cement Fields worked in partnership with The [email protected] and a group of young people from their Gifted Young Generation (GYG) Media group to explore the festival and the participating artists through their eyes. The group are interested in understanding art from many points of view including political, educational, as a form of expression and experimentation.

With the support of professionals, the group, aged between 14 and 19 years old, learnt production, interviewing and editing skills to produce a series of videos interviewing artists and exploring works from the festival programme.

GYG Talks Art is available to watch online and at giftedyounggeneration.co.uk through Estuary 2021.
