Creative Collisions HAZ Window
In this retail unit, a hairdresser’s that once offered fades and scissor cuts, a looping stop-motion animation imagines the depths of the North Sea.
Lantern fishes, dagger tooths and luminescent eels, each made from cardboard and waste packaging, dart and tussle in dark waters that are largely a mystery to us high-street revellers.
This animation was created by Bethany (aged 16), Tom(aged 13) and Kitty(aged 13) and Misha(18) who worked collaboratively to animate their aquatic creatures over two workshops in August and September 2021, supported by local artist and animator Matthew Harrison. As you pause to watch this burst of creative energy, imagine what other worlds your high-street can offer…
Thanks to Heritage England, Out There Arts, originalprojects;, Laura Burnham, Matthew Harrison, Katy Kingston and Time and Tide Museum’s National Saturday Club for supporting this animated window display.

Norfolk CC Social Services
Photographs taken by young people of Great Yarmouth, who were asked to capture what they felt about the town within a single polaroid picture.
Each individual interpreted the task differently with an independant and creative lens.
The photographers were all between the ages of 11-18 and had never used a Polaroid camera before.
The aim of the project was to get young people to engage with their environment and also to explore the arts.
Great Yarmouth Shoal
Created by over 100 Great Yarmouth residents (aged 4 – 80) who took part in a series of relief print workshops exploring Great Yarmouth’s rich Fishing Heritage at the Out There International Festival of Circus and Street Arts and also at the Family Saturday events hosted at The Drill House.
Thank you to artists Gabbi Minas and Donna Thompson for guiding, inspiring and supporting everyone to explore mark making and print.
