Past Display
A Ministry of Stories showcase
A pop-up display of works by young writers from Hackney celebrating their heroes; from mothers and best friends, to food, football GOATs and firm-but-fair teachers
Autograph
Rivington Place
London EC2A 3BA, UK
This display is on for one day only - don't miss it!
For the past six months, Autograph has collaborated with local charity Ministry of Stories and the young writers aged 8 - 15 who attend their Writing Labs. Taking inspiration from Autograph's exhibitions and collection, participants considered questions of identity and representation, culminating in a project responding to the question what makes a hero? And now you're invited to come and see the results!
Each young writer has picked their favourite work from the term to polish up to share in the display, featuring family members and best friends, football GOATs and firm-but-fair teachers, super-strong superheroes and ancient doctors. Join us to celebrate their achievements.
