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 their identities, struggles and aspirations. The research outcomes were created in collaboration with young bands and musicians and displayed as an interactive installation at Cardiff School of Art & Design 2019.
I hope to take the project further 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 through the project.
