SUMMARY:Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: Williamson Art Gallery: Sixteen
DESCRIPTION:WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE SIXTEEN YEARS OLD NOW?  IN THIS MAJOR 
 TOURING EXHIBITION LEADING CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHERS JOIN FORCES WITH MOR
 E THAN ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLDS ACROSS THE UK TO EXPLORE
  THEIR DREAMS\, HOPES AND FEARS AND WHO AND WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT.\n\nThank
 s to additional Arts Council England funding Sixteen begins an extended 
 spring touring programme\, which includes the Williamson Art Gallery as a 
 partner.\n\nPhotographer Craig Easton conceived this ambitious project in 
 collaboration with sixteen-year-olds at the time of the Scottish independe
 nce referendum. It was the first\, and as yet only time in in the United K
 ingdom sixteen-year-olds have been given the vote. Building on the success
  of this work\, he invited some of the UK’s foremost documentary portrai
 t photographers to collaborate with him and young people to create visual 
 vox pops on what it means to be sixteen now.\n\nPhotographers Robert C Bra
 dy\, Linda Brownlee\, Lottie Davies\, Jillian Edelstein\, Stuart Freedman\
 , Sophie Gerrard\, Kalpesh Lathigra\, Roy Mehta\, Christopher Nunn\, Kate 
 Peters\, Simon Roberts\, Michelle Sank\, and Abbie Trayler-Smith joined Cr
 aig Easton to develop and produce Sixteen. Working with photography\, fi
 lm\, social media\, audio recordings and writing\, they brought together t
 he faces and testimonies of young people from diverse communities across t
 he UK\, giving prominence to voices rarely heard.\n\nNew partnerships in H
 ull\, Shetland\, Wirral\, and Widnes follow acclaimed exhibitions earlier 
 this year across Greater Manchester\, and at Format International Photogra
 phy Festival in Derby.  Both the Wirral and Widnes exhibitions offer a fo
 retaste of the compelling work that launches Sixteen’ssummer programme 
 across the Liverpool City Region at the end of July.\n\nThe exhibition wil
 l run at the Williamson from 15th June until 21st July\, with free entry.
   We are open Wednesday-Sunday\, 10am-5pm.\n\nFor more exhibitions at the
  Williamson\, check our Exhibitions pages.
