This installation brings together RESOLVE’s year-long Creative Youth Worker residency at the V&A. Designed using site-specific, upcycled materials, the installation provides a space to explore how museums of the future can become essential spaces for local youth groups.

This installation brings together RESOLVE’s year-long Creative Youth Worker residency at the V&A, displaying the collaborative work of Blackhorse Responders, V&A East Youth Collective, and other youth groups from the four east London Olympic boroughs of Hackney, Waltham Forest, Newham, and Tower Hamlets. The work celebrates and interrogates how design can be used as a vehicle to ‘dissipate’ institutional resource in local areas, rather than impose it upon them. The installation will provide a space to explore how, by using the premise of design to convene and collaborate, museums of the future can become essential spaces for the existing aims and aspirations of local youth groups. The installation will be designed using site-specific, upcycled materials and also platform a series of live events throughout LDF. RESOLVE Collective are the V&A Research Institute and V&A East’s first Creative Youth Workers In Residence, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
