SICK! Cars Festival 2022

Cars are sometimes seen as an extension of our identities. Particularly for

young men, cars can become symbols or power and status. As lead artist on

this project it's my job to deliver an 8 week workshop that challenges these

stereotypes about masculinity and to look at the pressures that are placed

men alike to ‘be a man’!

Working closely with Woodrow Phoenix and a group of young men based in

North Manchester, we created two ‘vinyl-wrapped’ cars covered in artwork

using identifiable brand logos and changing them them into something that

responded to the internal and external thoughts that men experience.

This project was exhibited in their heart of their community and served to form

as part of Sick! Festival’s 10- year community engagement strategy in North

Manchester.

Get ready to challenge notions of masculinity and everything that you thought

you knew about men! This project was created with support from Auto Trader.
