Bristol's young people use art to raise awareness of knife crime

An art exhibition in which school shirts with anti-knims criminal frequency messages are issued as part of the knife week of razor crime.

The exhibition of young people in Bristol will be held on May 19 in the chapel of the mayor via College Green, Bristol.

In the empty shirts, the lost project Lost Childss, the participants aged 13 to 25 were invited to decorate simple white school shirts with poems, slogans, works of art and monuments that reflect their feelings and experiences with razor crime.

Dr. Jade Lvell from the University of Bristol, who headed the project, said that the exhibition “An important light” for young people.

The knife crime -consciousness week of consciousness, which runs from May 19 to 25, is an annual campaign of Ben Kinsella Trust, which aims to sharpen awareness of devastating effects of knife crime and to promote preventive solutions.

Dr. Lvell said: “[The project] The aim is to make people think about the experience of “childhood” for those who are absent at school.

“For many young people, writing about school shirts is a transitional rite when they complete the formal education.

“Children who are involved in youth violence often miss this milestone because they were excluded from school, victims of violence or custody.”

The project is the highlight of a unique creative project, which was cited by the University of Bristol in cooperation with local schools and youth organizations.

Inspired by the laundry project, a global initiative that raises awareness of gender -specific violence, the concept was adapted for the first time to tackle serious youth power in Great Britain.

The organizers hope that it will trigger talks and shift the perception of crime every now and then.

The project also invites the parishes to contribute to a “community manifest” with a contribution that is shared with Bristol City Council and other partners to inform future strategies for the prevention of youth violence.

The participating organizations include Barnardos, Empire Fighting Chance, Youth Moves and City of Bristol College.

Duncan Stanway, deputy director at Barnardo, said: “It is important that we listen to what young people who are affected by violence say about their lives.

“We see too many young people who are seriously injured by exploitation and violence.”

The initiative is part of a broader urban effort led by the office in Bristol in order to tackle serious youth power through cooperation between community groups, academics, academics and public health authorities.

Clare Moody, Commissioner of Avon and Somerset, praised the initiative.
