– Come and mix street based art, VJing, graphic doodles, and the Tate Collection with International Doodlebug.

International Doodlebug are a street art group based in Manchester. They use drawing, doodling and forms of street art as a way of changing a space.

The workshop will involve viewing the exhibitions and displays at Tate Britain with Tate Forum. Tate Forum will present interpretations of specific art works, with focus on Mark Wallinger, as influence on the content of the work produced during the day.

The young people will be set the task of creating images around the themes of radicalism, freedom of expression and democracy. The group will draw, paint, collage, access digital images and display via VJ (Video Jocky), and create characters, which will reflect street art, the Tate Collection merging to express the themes of the day.

During the session the images will be used by a VJ to create atmosphere and combine layers which will merge the work to form a unique perspective of art and politics using the Tate Collection, offering an opportunity for young people to express themselves around issues that directly affect their lives.

Examples of International Doodlebug can be seen at http://www.interdoodle.co.uk/frame96.htm
