Over a six month period GoMA Artist in Residence, Anthony Schrag and Writer In Residence, Magi Gibson encouraged young people to explore the issues of sectarianism, territory, neighbourhood and identity through images and words. In particular they asked them to think about how these issues impacted on their everyday lives.
Deep divisions between communities based on territorial boundaries emerged. The young people talked of a violent youth gang culture. Rather than stemming from sectarianism or football affiliation, attacks were seen as being either territory-based, or simply directed against someone who was identifiably different.
Individuals within such gangs seemed to be driven by a need for group identity, a desire to get a buzz, and the hope of macho peer-group status.

Each group found their own way of expressing their understanding ...

If you haven't heard about it yet, tonight is Bonfire Night!

Night in commemoration of the failure of "the Gunpowder Plot" dating from 1605.
The Roman Catholic Guy Fawkes was caught on the 5th November with some gunpowder barrels within the House of Parliament and arrested with other conspirators in the attempt to blow it up.

Glasgow celebrates this night with fireworks,music,lights and even a funfair to attract the youngests (from 5pm to 10pm). The fireworks will start at 7.30pm.

The weather forecast for tonight are said to be good, so let's grab a coat and head to Glasgow Green (East End of the city) where everything happens.

So lets have fun tonight!

And Don't forget to leave your comments later on!!!
