1. BOOK - 2001. Friendship. New York, NY: Morrow.thesebooks from the MILK collective are some of my favourite photography books. i remember looking at them as a child and being transfixed by the photos and how they caaptured a moment of someones life and their story. I think that way of telling someones story through one moment in time and no words is really special. i also love how honest and imperfect some of the pictures are - they feel spontaneous and truthful. the way their book 'love' portrays youth is also quite special, i think it captures those feelings of connection and raw love in its most innocent form, when nothing bad has happeend yet and you can enjoy the sweetness of a kiss in a caravan or the joy of an ugly laugh.

1. PODCAST - Bbc.co.uk. 2021. BBC Radio 4 - Forest 404. [online] Available at: <https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06tqsg3> [Accessed 9 March 2021].I listened t this audio work over a few days as i was working on an illustration and was completely entranced by its narrative. I liked how it wasn't quite an audio book or an audio play, but wasn't just music either. I think the mix of narrative with soundscaping was fantastic and intersperced with interviews of current topics in relevance to the climate and nature was what made it so interesting and fresh. I really liked the balance between noise and story and fact. I think i would like to pull some of this balance into my own work

2. GRAPHIC NOVEL - Coe, J., 2014. Art schooled. London: Nobrow Press.this graphic novel is a brilliant interpretation of what its like to be in art school and i think takes a brilliantly funny approach to representing the different characters and archetypes you meet and the stories they have to tell. I like the style of illustration and limited colour palette and think it captures the feelings of inadequacy or lack of certainty that many young people in their first year feel. I love the cynicism and taking the micky of the 'fine art' world, but also the honesty and fondness within the ups and downs of the story

3. ONLINE ARTICLE - GAY TIMES. 2021. School is out. Many young people are not - the impact of lockdown on LGBTQ youth. [online] Available at: <https://www.gaytimes.co.uk/life/school-is-out-many-young-people-are-not-the-impact-of-lockdown-on-lgbtq-youth/> [Accessed 9 March 2021].'For so many closeted young people – including some Just Like Us  volunteer ambassadors – moving out of home for college, university or  work is an opportunity to come out and build a support network. Meeting  other LGBTQ young people and moving away from home has been a  life-changing experience for many of us, who kept our identities hidden  from our families for many years.'I think this highlights the importance ofconnection and friendhsip and the toll this had on young peoples mental health and wellbeing from a social perspective - how hard has it been to reintegrate into social groups? how has it felt to leave old friendhsip groups and start new ones whilst in a pandemic. has uni been hard? have you changed? have you had to reintroduce yourself to old friends as a new person?   5. BOOK - Hall, J., Birkin, S., Li, H. and Hans, J., 2020. The art of drag. London.This book is brilliant for information about drag, but its also a super playful way of illustrating. i like the bold colours the artists use and the graphic style. i would liek to be influenced by the varying styles of illustration and the styles of drag to help bring that pop of illustration to any future zines i do.

6. FILM - IMDb. 2021. Moxie (2021) - IMDb. [online] Available at: <https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6432466/> [Accessed 9 March 2021].This perfectly encapsulates the spirit of zines and in a kind of american high school grl power way brings really important issues to the frefront and uses zines as a form of rebellion to unite people and fight the system - which is what teenagerhood is about!?

8. ONLINE ARTICLE Si.edu. 2021. Museum Conservation Institute Time Capsules. [online] Available at: <https://www.si.edu/mci/english/learn_more/taking_care/timecaps.html> [Accessed 9 March 2021].'Electronics are a problem. If you include video or audio  tapes or compact   disks, the equipment to play them back may not be  available when the time   capsule is opened. Furthermore, the tapes or  disks may have deteriorated.   Include instructions on any intended  playback equipment. For computer tapes, add   a written copy of the  software, and identify the computer type.Polyvinyl acetate (PVAC) or PVC, including plastic  food wrap, will   deteriorate even in a sealed capsule and release  acetic acid and hydrochloric   acid, respectively, as they age.In   general, properly processed, fiber-based,  black-and-white photographic prints,   preferably treated with gold,  selenium or poly-sulfide toner, keep best.   Photographic films coated  on a polyester base rather than an acetate base are   more stable. Color  prints and slides can fade even when kept in the   dark.Newsprint is acidic and deteriorates easily. A local  museum or library   should have names of paper conservators. The  alternative is to make photocopies   on archival quality paper  (high-alpha cellulose) with an alkaline reserve of pH   7.5-8.0.Objects   made of rubber should not be placed in time capsules since rubber deteriorates   over time, releasing sulfur.All   wood, especially oak, gives off acid vapors  and must be sealed away from   electronic equipment or metal articles,  especially those made of lead, or   lead-containing alloys, in the time  capsule.Textiles   should be clean and insect free. Characteristics of fibers that might be used in   a time capsule:-   Cotton: Acts as a humidity buffer if temperature changes.       - Polyester:   Stable.       - Silk: May deteriorate in oxygen atmosphere.       - Wool and Hair:   Contain sulfur; may outgas and corrode metal.' Thinking of teh actual physical needs of encapsulating time - how a lot of our modern day materials such as mobiles and ipods, flash drives etc. we use to keep memories and moments of time are all inconvenient materials to physically use in a time capsule. would there be something timeless that can replicate memorialised digital things in a formal way. someting more organic or anatomical like preserving things in a formeldahyde tomb or wrapping digital things in a silk time capsule?

9. ONLINE ARTICLE - Sleek-mag.com. 2021. The Photographers Documenting Youth Movements through the Ages. [online] Available at: <https://www.sleek-mag.com/article/youth-movement-photography/> [Accessed 9 March 2021].'Society's obsession with teen culture is a fairly recent development. In  fact, the transitional stage between childhood and adulthood was once  almost non-existent and the adolescent stage of life was skipped due to  societal obligations like war, work and family. In the aftermath of two  World Wars and the Great Depression, however, came a huge generational  gap between parents and their children, who no longer aspired to settle  down just yet. A revolution ensued, and young people across the world  began to do their own thing, bringing about new fashions, music and  opinions.' Have we missed an important year of our lives, a key trasitional year from teenager to adulthood? has this had an effect on us as a group of young people?

10. PODCAST - Spotify. 2021. DUET. [online] Available at: <https://open.spotify.com/show/1B3T1suTjHitjFHZWqXBxm> [Accessed 9 March 2021].I loved listening to this podcast where 2 people share a few songs they like and the stories connected to them. i like hearing the memories connected to teh songs and what they evoke when played. they can be super personal and intimate or be a shared song and expereince. there are definitely songs that are indicative to certain period of my life or certain stages of lockdown which i associate tracks with so I think as part of my interview questions i'd like to ask them what tracks they associate with this period of time.

Kordic, E. M.   (2016, September 11). Youth culture expressed through iconic art pieces.   Retrieved from Widewalls:   https://www.widewalls.ch/magazine/youth-culture-art-photographers 'Specifically dominated by musical tastes, slang fashion and questionable hairstyles, youth culture is distinguished by the unique experience of social reality  and can be perceived as an artifact of growing up. Each generation  brings its own little rebellions, trying to construct their own identity  and what sets them apart.' 'artifacts of youth' - what artifacts of youth would i have? it would be interesting to see what artifacts my peers wuld have - maybe i could recreate them or memorialise them somehow

Unknown. (n.d.). Grown   up in Britain: celebrating 100 years of youth culture. Retrieved from the   museum of youth culture: https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/museum-of-youth-culture'The early Disco underground parties were not a far cry from the New York  Ballroom circuit at the time where black and Latino queer and  transgender folks also found a safe space to be themselves and a  community to thrive in. Both scenes were an escapist haven of  inclusivity for those who were rejected and marginalised by mainstream  society; they were places where LGBTQ folks could truly celebrate their  identities and their sexuality.'https://artsandculture.google.com/story/EgUREYLZH7U13g I think its important to look at the history of these spaces and the comfrt and freedome they have broght to so many years of queer youth, but in lockdown we haven't had those spaces and has there been a setback for individuals self expression without these spaces?
