The Bold Collective

The Bold Collective have created a recorded performance and workshop centred around the phrase “Infodemic: Misinformation Disinformation”. The team wanted to look at Fake News, the spread of false information, and the impact this has had on their health and wellbeing. The performers have made vignette style videos that will be edited together and tie in with the overall theme. These short recordings have a variety of art styles, including spoken word, drama, animation and music composition - all created by our young people.

The workshop continues the theme of Infodemic, using a drawing exercise across Zoom to uncover a hidden message as a team, while sifting through conflicting information in the style of sketches. This is led by one of our Young Workshop Leaders who has delivered several of our workshops in the past.

We also have a large social media marketing plan starting across Instagram and Facebook, alongside our “Artist Callout”, where we have asked young artists to share work created in response to the phrase “Infodemic: Misinformation Disinformation” and posting it on their own Instagram pages and stories, using the hashtag #InfoMisDis and tagging our handle @tbc_glasgow. By posting this, the images would then be shared on The Bold Collective’s own instagram stories and then created into a highlight reel, showcasing the incredible work Scotland’s young artists have created from the external TBC community.
