Our Freedom: Then & Now

We're inviting young people aged 18-35 to participate in a free, impactful creative project at JW3. This is your chance to help shape a public exhibition that explores how the Holocaust is remembered across generations.

It's been 80 years since the end of the Second World War, a moment that meant different things to different people, just as freedom and community resonate uniquely with each of us today.

What You'll Do

Through workshops led by professional artists, you'll create a powerful memory piece - a personal installation that tells the story of someone affected by the Holocaust. This could be a family member, or someone else whose story deeply moves you.

You'll bring their narrative to life using photos, audio, documents, or personal objects, culminating in a unique display, sound work, or something entirely your own.

This will culminate in an exhibition at JW3, as well as a companion podcast series, sharing these stories with a wider audience.

Skills You'll Gain

Beyond the exhibition, this project will help you develop or enhance your skills in:

• Storytelling: Learn to communicate complex histories with creativity and care.
• Podcasting: Discover how to craft compelling audio narratives.
• Exhibition Design: Understand the art of presenting engaging displays.

You'll also play a key role in planning the exhibition's launch event, presenting your work to the community.

Commitment

While there is no cost to participants, this project requires your commitment to 9 sessions held on Monday evenings from 6.30pm - 8.30pm, running from September through November.

We'll provide a meal at each session, offering a fantastic opportunity to connect and socialise with other young people passionate about making a difference.
