SCULPT

SCULPT, a group where lads represent themselves.

From Monday 23rd September 2024 - 2025, we have been holding a regular weekly session at The Miners, Moston.

SCULPT, is a group for lads 15-20 from North Manchester (Moston & Charlestown).

Each session focuses on a new theme of discussion, using creative tools to unlock difficult conversations. The sessions have been a much needed space for conversation and refection, debating topics the group choose to talk about.

Artistic team:

Comedian and storyteller Smug Roberts. Storytelling workshops exploring identity and personal stories.

Artist Louis Beckett. Leading on arts sessions working with the lads to create sketches and sculptures representing themselves and exploring identity.

Malandra Jacks (Chloe and Josh):

Founders of the project, working with lead artists Louis and Smug to develop and deliver SCULPT.

Thanks to HOME and Manchester City Council's Neighbourhood team. With special thanks to Patrick Nicholls, Creative Mentor, for supporting the group creatively each week.
