Hopping and jumping,
electricity brimming,
behind moistened green eyes,
behind all the flys.
Behind where the trees lie,
behind ponds, and fences,
behind houses and mud,
the thunderfrog is stood.

THE VOID
by Daniel Kent
Part Two: The Factory
“… Lay down all thought… ”, came the voice, “…Surrender to the Void…”
“You don’t exist, not anymore…” I shouted, tasting the blood in my mouth.
“You’re dead. Don’t you understand? You’re all dead..!”

Suits and Saris Exhibition – Youth Panel
Getting involved with the Suits and Saris exhibition. I would like to inform you about the possibilities for 18-24 years old.
We had a first meeting with some 18-24 years old and decided to setup a New Walk Museum Youth Panel. Some of the people of the youth panel will be involved extensively with a certain theme of the exhibition, others will be mainly given their opinion at Youth Panel meetings (once a month on a Saturday) or will be involved with a certain activity (i.e. marketing the exhibition).
The next meeting of the NWM Youth Panel will be on Saturday 11 September at New Walk Museum and Art Gallery from 11.30am to 1.30pm. We have place for more people, so let us know if you like to come or like to bring more people (email Laura Wilson on Laura.Wilson@leicester.gov.uk).
We will have three presentations related to three of the main themes of the exhibition, which, I am sure, will be an exiting start to discuss content and sub-themes of those main themes further.At this meeting we will also finalise and make concrete the way we would like to run the youth panel and put this on paper.
For general enquiries on youth involvement in this project, please contact Laura Wilson on Laura.Wilson@leicester.gov.uk.
