Free – £9
View a collection of short films by young people, exploring the theme of ‘hidden persuasion’ and influence in their everyday lives.
The films are the result of a schools project run during the summer of 2018 by the Hidden Persuaders Project (HPP, Birkbeck, University of London). Forty 16-17 year olds from Camden worked with HPP researchers, Birkbeck’s Jarman Lab, and educator Dr Lizzie Burns, to create their own video essays on topics ranging from the psychological influence of social media, to music and fashion.
The films will be shown on a loop throughout the afternoon.
Developed by the HPP, who also commissioned Emma Smith’s Wunderblock, the films share some of the exhibition’s underlying themes. For more background information >>
With thanks to staff and students at Acland Burghley School, Parliament Hill School, The Camden School for Girls.
Part of the events series for Wunderblock by Emma Smith, curated by Rachel Fleming-Mulford, and commissioned by Birkbeck, University of London for the Hidden Persuaders Project, funded by the Wellcome Trust Public Engagement Fund.
