Sweet Sixteen (Collection SST)

Sweet Sixteen was a summer 1977 playscheme on the Beanhill estate, led by Carry Gorney and Geoge King, where each week children in different streets interviewed older residents about their memories of being 16 years old. They made newsletters and other artworks, and a weekly meeting of older residents discussing their memories was broadcast on Channel 40 the Cable TV station. At the end of the project there was a Party and a Grand Cabaret combining Inter-Action and local residents’ talents. There are a further 150 images in the main Living Archive – these 11 images are just a sample!
