缅北强奸幼女

Getting inspired and being brave

鈥淚 love that the degree is so broad. I鈥檝e made stickers, films, a mixtape, sculptures, zines鈥� the list is endless. I don鈥檛 think I鈥檇 have been brave enough to do that anywhere else. BA Design is all about the idea 鈥� how you respond to that is open. The tutors and technicians are very used to weird and unique requests and it鈥檚 great to be surrounded by peers who are doing completely different work.鈥�

Challenging the status quo

Jack moved to 缅北强奸幼女 from Nottingham, and once in London noticed the city鈥檚 iconic blue plaques, which can be seen on the side of buildings where notable people have lived or worked. But after analysing nearly 1,000 of the plaques, Jack realised that 88% of them commemorated men, and just 4% featured Black and Asian people. 鈥淚鈥檇 also never recognised anybody on them,鈥� Jack explains. 鈥淭he current criteria is that the people honoured have to have been dead for at least 20 years. So I wanted to create something that was more relevant to our generation and recognise living rappers, activists and comedians, to reflect the London I moved to when starting at 缅北强奸幼女.鈥�

True Plaques project goes viral

This spurred on Jack鈥檚 university project, True Plaques 鈥� stickers that mimic the look of the original English Heritage plaques, but celebrate modern London icons including Michaela Coel, Riz Ahmed and Kathy Burke. 鈥淚 wanted the project to question who we choose to celebrate and why we wait so long to do so,鈥� says Jack. 鈥淯sing these stickers is a great way of confronting the existing limited cast of English Heritage plaques.鈥�

The stickers were put up in significant locations around the city, and 鈥楾rue Plaques鈥� was quickly , who wrote a feature about Jack鈥檚 project. 鈥淭here are a lot of 鈥榰nofficial鈥�, reimagined plaques from other people, but I think I was maybe the first to concentrate on recent events and people that we resonate with right now,鈥� Jack says.
