Online Exhibition of Self-Portraits
Over the past 13 years the National Saturday Club has developed a unique national archive encompassing more than 9,000 Saturday Club members’ self-portraits. The annual self-portrait project launches the National Saturday Club year, introducing Club members nationwide to ideas of self-expression. In a simple A4 template, young people are encouraged to explore their own sense of identity as well as themes including gender, class, race and representation. This self-reflective and multidisciplinary project celebrates young people’s individuality – their diversity, imagination, and unique perspectives.
