20th Apr 2009Breaking The Rules at the Beecroft Art Gallery

Between April 25th until June 20th the Beecroft Art Gallery are hosting a multimedia journey through youth subcultures by young people from Southend. \"Breaking The Rules\" is an exhibition that represents a mixture of the past and the present -with local young people using the latest technology to shed light on the past. Relate South Essex has been working with several Southend Schools, Connexions and Mediashed, with funding from the Heritage Lottery to encourage the youth of Southend to explore their past. Movements like the Mods, Rockers, Hippies, Punks and New Romantics will take observers back a few years to their youth and events in Southend.
