Art = healthy communities?

In my opinion, art is a form of expression that is unique to you only. If you create an art piece that reflects you, it is no-one but you that can discredit it.

Today, we went to the truck depot. The truck depot had a sense of community that I found overwhelming, and that made me overlook the superficial image of dirt and labour. Art for these people is a way of life. Whilst I’m sure they love their work, it is work for them, and artistic expression is part of the job.

For me, art is part creation, part post creation. There was satisfaction in the work done, and I feel that a job with an artistic input and output is far more satisfying than one with neither.

Elliott

Age:
18
Location:
London, United Kingdom
Specialty:
Musician

Talented musician, Elliott, 18, from Lambeth, South London is currently on a gap year. He first found out about the expedition while working on Offscreen’s Adobe Youth Voices film making project when studying at Dunraven School. He’s now hoping to use his music skills on the Offscreen travelogue. Elliott describes his sound as instrumental/experimental hip-hop. He has already had a taste of success after he was featured on Ras Kwame’s Radio 1 show. He is also in a successful group, Divine Rights. He is excited about getting the opportunity to see the Pakistan behind the headlines and he’s looking forward to getting some musical inspiration from the trip too.
