Political Collage. A Thread. On Wednesday we were joined by @AnnaLiesching who presented a fascinating webinar on the history of collage as a political act. Anna set participants the challenge of creating their own politically inspired pieces using imagery from NMNI collection.
Lets start with our Youth Ambassador @NiamhKelly421 who created a number of striking pieces with powerful messages.
Stunning work here from 
'Creeper' was designed by @HannahLizSharp This piece was designed while reflecting on bodily autonomy. Something which has been prevalent in local news recently. Fantastic use of layers and a strong message.
A strange dystopian bird ruled future was imagined by Isabella.
Youth Engagement Officer @smarttrumpet reflected on how difficult it can be to be politically motivated on a Sunday... with a little help from Lavery.
But remember it's a bag of cans not a bag of cants.

Firstly @ClaireMSilver used some clippings to make her Da a fathers day card.
But secondly and AMAZINGLY @ClaireMSilver made this CLASS collage stop motion.
Claire played around with images of Ulster Museums collection and magazine clippings to create a stop motion entitled ‘It’s Time.’ which reflects on a need for societal change.

@ohbysoso created 2 pieces "which act as an exploration of Jennifer Pozner’s book “Reality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth about Guilty Pleasure TV”. The 1st is called ‘botox’.
The 2nd is called ‘america: lettuce and diet coke’. When I’m sad I consume a lot of ‘reality’ media

@ohbysoso Cont. my go-to atm is Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I watch it before I sleep. I now have dreams where I look in the mirror and see myself as a piece of meat and beg for freezing. I say things like “before I go stale” while I count my calories and steps.
There was no suggestion of how many images participants should create, but Maya went and made 10. TEN! Unreal! Each fantastic.
