PROblem Solving Courts Installation

We exhibited an installation at the BMA House in London at an event that was designed to bring together individuals from criminal, family and youth justice to share their different approaches to problem solving.

Our multimedia artwork provided an insight into some of the challenging experiences Young People face when going through court systems and highlighted the key contextual issues that impact on a persons life leading up to their involvement with the criminal justice system.

WHAT IS DIVERSION? VIDEO

Diversion is a pathway that is offered to young people who are caught up in the Criminal Justice System as an alternative to going court. Diversion can be a confusing process and is often overlooked when a child is arrested.

We were commissioned by the Centre For Justice Innovation to create a short video to present the Diversion scheme in simple accessible language.

With thanks to the Young People and Children who's words and experiences contributed to the content of this video.

“Picture you, Picture me, just for one day we are going to swap lives.

This is not just my story, this is our story.

We take you on a journey, showing you the impact of what societies inequalities

does to us psychologically, what society does to our areas and how that leaves us hopeless and trapped.”

Through immersive installations, this exhibition is an insight into the struggles of being a young person

growing up through poverty, school exclusion, the streets, criminal justice, prison, media stereotypes.

This is more than hearing about it, through experiential art you see it, feel it, be it.

"I thought the exhibition was really powerful.

We often hear about the circumstances people come from and the long-term effects

it has on them. But to really walk through it was very powerful…”

"My thoughts went very deep.

This is the stuff you often read or hear about but you never get put in the

situation that you guys managed to put us in and it took the heart away."

"I thought the exhibition was incredibly powerful.

I’m going to be thinking about it for a long time afterwards.

It put a really human and visual representation of things we read about every day.

My favourite part was the shredding of the dreams because that

got us to empathise, even just a tiny bit, with the wider issues."
