WHEELWORKS PRODUCE:
• Information and resource packs aimed at Community Leaders and Artists who are interested in developing and supporting youth arts provision.

• Documentation and post-production materials of our ongoing project work with Young People in the form of exhibitions and accompanying catalogues, music cds and videos.

CREATIVE ROUTES PUBLICATION AND CD ROM
This combined publication and CD Rom showcases the final artwork of projects developed with vulnerable and marginalized Children and Young People in their communities in Co Antrim, L/Derry, Fermanagh and Tyrone as part of the ArtCart Outreach Programme 2002/2003.
Each of the projects on view in the publication are unique, reflecting the ages, interests, issues and themes of meaningful significance to the Children and Young People in each urban and rural locality of origin.
This varies from Animation and Film genre projects with younger Children, to projects which address drug awareness and urban violence through Spray Art and Irish Language Radio documentary.
Creative Routes also includes sample Artist’s workshop plans and serves as a valuable resource for those working with Children and Young People aged 4-25 in formal and informal education settings.

EXHIBITIONS

The following exhibitions are available for touring to venues across Europe.

MY SPACE
My Space is a pioneering photographic exhibition created by Young People from cultural minority communities from across Northern Ireland which explores issues and opinions around social / cultural exclusion and discrimination.
The exhibition includes a range of photographic portraits: large scale colour pin-hole images, traditional black and white prints, as well as digitally imaged fine art prints and installations.

BT5
BT5 is a photographic exploration of identity by young men in East Belfast. The project takes its name from the postal district in east Belfast where the Inner East Youth Project and the Short Strand Parent and Youth Group are situated.
The project was part of a wider city-wide project which used the medium of photography to explore with Young People their experiences of living and growing up along Belfast's peace-lines.
Images in the BT5 exhibition were created by young men from both communities during the summer of 2000. Photographers Ryan Gallagher and Andy Berndt introduced digital photography to groups as a means to explore territory, culture and fantasy/
ideal streets.
