Who are the GUNK?
The GUNK! are an illustrated band created with the
intention to empower young people both as a form of
entertainment and as a project which allows them to use
creativity to say what they want to say. Research to inform
the characters of the GUNK! was conducted as an all day
illustrative and text based workshop to help young people
explore what aspects make up their identities.
I hope to register the project as a charity and apply for
funding in the future. Facilitated workshops will lead to pairings
of young bands and musicians with young artists and designers
to work together to reinvent the GUNK! in their own
ways and promote their individual aspirations.
