COmmunity art gallery

Art is central to STEP’s research, engagement and programmes with children and young people from traditionally nomadic communities. Art provides opportunities for community members to share ideas, to think critically, to imagine and to create. Participatory arts research (PAR) positions participants as active co-creators of knowledge, meaning, and artistic output. PAR is about democratizing the research process, valuing the diverese knowledge of young people from the Gypsy/Traveller and Roma community. We believe that art creates space for young people to experiment with representations of culture and identity and examine how these might be shared through their own digital narratives.
