The Not So Fun House explores links between mental health and youth homelessness. This immersive installation invites you to journey through a multi-artform sensory experience.
Lost Voices – has been creatively empowering the lost voices of young people who have not traditionally been heard. Young people with experience of the care system. Young people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. Young people experiencing people mental health. Young people struggling to find their path. This creative opportunity has been supporting young people to find their voice, develop, shape and create their own large scale artwork.
Young people connected to Llamau and Swansea Children’s Services have worked alongside artists to explore in depth their own lives, experiences, thoughts and feelings. This final artistic experience will amplify the participants voices and ensure they are heard. You the audience will engage with the world the participants create on the terms the participants define. The young people hope this experience will change the way you see and support young people in your work and wider lives.
Funded through Arts Council of Wales, Connect and Flourish, Lost Voices has brought together Mess Up The Mess Theatre Company, Llamau and City and County of Swansea Children’s Services in an 18 month+ programme of creative workshops culminating in this large scale public artistic experience.
