Space RAFT - an animation made by Street YMCA Youth Club

Space RAFT
An animation made by young people attending the Street YMCA youth club.
This work is inspired by artist Rory Pilgrim's RAFTS project and was developed through a series of creative workshops with Richard Tomlinson and Jasmine Otley, with the young people, shaped by their interests and ideas.
'In moments of change and transition, what supports us and keeps us afloat? A raft is the simplest and most fragile vehicle of survival on open water. Ancient as human language, rafts are still needed during urgent crossings. With the idea of Earth also as a lonely life raft floating in space, the symbol of a raft has often represented the ultimate preserver of life.' - Rory Pilgrim
A Somerset Art Works project with Somerset Film and YMCA Brunel, funded by the Mendip Community Fund and Arts Council England.
