Hugh Baird Students Creative Responses: Queue Up And Dance

As part of a live project module, Hugh Baird college partnered with Sefton Libraries and At The Library to deliver a creative brief responding to the legacy of Quadrant Park. Whilst some students were interested in the design, fashion and photography styles of the era, others were keen to explore the changing nature of rave culture and even the environments in which they have taken place.  

We also hosted an open Riso session for graphics and photography students to experiment with the print process, supported by artist Mark Simmonds, a technique which closely mimics the style of the original Quadrant Park flyers. 

The students have taken a wide-range of creative approaches to this project, as a means to engage with the local heritage of Quadrant Park and examine the changing nature of DIY and youth-led culture in the city today.
