Generation R: a celebration of youth resilience in Willoughby and the North Shore

2020 represented a year of disruption, isolation and uncertainty across all sectors of our community. For young people especially, these challenges have exposed both their vulnerability and their resilience. Generation R features youth art exhibitions by students across the North Shore who continued to work during lockdown, and screenings of a short film by a young emerging filmmaker. Through their different mediums, these programs demonstrate the interests and passions of a new generation of young artists and reflect the power of the human spirit, its fragility and its ability to endure.
All of these events are free of charge.
