A Dangerous Figure

ABOUT MOVEMENT:Youth employment is approaching a critical juncture. Today in the UK, over 1 million 16-24 year-olds are unemployed. Never has there been such a significant proportion of the nation’s young people without meaningful work, under-used, under-valued, bored, disaffected. Never before have so many of these young unemployed been so skilled or so highly educated. Never before have they been so able to mobilise. And never before have they been so Dangerous. The aim of A Dangerous Figure is to unite all young unemployed people in the UK into a single figure, a sculpture that represents their combined hopes, fears, frustrations and latent potential. The result of this fusion of ideas and appearances of unemployed youth will be a travelling exhibition starting in SOMERSET HOUSE in London, and touring the UK in Summer 2013. This platform provides the UK young unemployed the opportunity to anonymously submit their information, vital statistics and, a photograph of their face, in order that it can be combined into A Dangerous Figure. The platform also provides the general public with the opportunity to ask A Dangerous Figure questions and interact with those who they may not normally have contact with. This two-way participation forms the Dangerous Figure’s background, work situation, life satisfaction and appearance.We want to empower the jobless generation in creating theyr own work or being connected to the right people to guide them
