Young People of the Tees Valley: Identity

A creative group of local young people, with roots in Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Eritrea and England, have developed a thought provoking exhibition which charts their journeys towards new identities.

The project looks at local migrant identities by bringing the empires of the earth back home to where empire began – the birthplace of James Cook, who ‘discovered’ the people who now populate and contribute to our area.
