Young people, Adam, Amy, Cara, Charlie, Cora, Jason, John, Josh, Meika, Mia, Michelle, Orlaith, Rachel, Ray, Shauna, Tessa from local youth group Lacken Foróige (with volunteer leaders Jessica and Becky) worked with artist Alice Dixon on a street spectacle project from August to the end of October 2022 at Ballinglen.
Sink Sank and Sunk took to the streets of Ballycastle on Sunday October 30th and celebrated afterwards at The Ballinglen Museum.
The young people came every Tuesday evening during the autumn. With lots of energy and enthusiasm they co-designed with Alice Dixon a character driven series of works from wearable headpieces and masks to glow in the dark objects and animations. It was really great to see all the ideas and characters come to life!!
Many thanks to Alice Dixon, an inspiring, open minded, enthusiastic artist.
