Altered Perceptions: Look Closer

February 10, 2017

Let’s see things differently, through the eyes of each other….. Young women from YPAS (Young Persons’ Advisory Service) and Holly Lodge Girls College have been working together to develop an exhibition that explores themes and issues of relevance and importance to them and their peers. Using Tracey Emins’ My Bed, (1998) as a starting point for discussions and thoughts around mental health; sexuality; bullying; gender and identity the group have worked sensitively and thoughtfully to collate construct and curate a meaningful and interactive space. They will use Tate Exchange to share these themes with the public, inviting dialogue and challenging perceptions and celebrating women and their individualism.

Venue: Tate Exchange Liverpool, Tate Liverpool, Albert Dock, Liverpool Waterfront, L3 4BB

Dates: 12–15 February 2017 at 10.00–16.00

Pricing: FREE

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
