ABOUT CREATIVE YOUTH:
Creative Youth is a charity based in Kingston, London. As the name implies, it was born out of an ambition to encourage and celebrate the creativity of young people - which we define as ages 5 to 26. Creative Youth is currently at an exciting period of transition of growth, as we look towards opening our new creative space - currently known as FUSEBOX - in March 2023. We are currently developing five areas of creative activity within the charity:
1) FUSE International - an annual arts festival formerly known as International Youth Arts Festival. FUSE International takes place in venues including Rose Theatre, Market Square, Kingston University, Kingston College and much more.

2) Creative Talent Programme - providing year-round support to emerging young artists entering into the creative industries.

3) Young People Skills Development Programme - a year-round programme focused on developing young people’s experience within the arts, including work experience, internships and volunteering.

4) Creative Youth Connects - local and community projects, including all work with schools and youth groups. This is where the AMP Kingston project sits.

5) FUSEBOX - we are opening a new creative and community space on Kingston’s riverside in the March 2023.

ABOUT AMP KINGSTON:
With young people, this project is an exploration of Kingston’s music heritage from the 1960s - 1990s. This heritage will be identified, recorded and accessed in a range of interactive, sustainable ways. Through uncovering this heritage, AMP not only explores some of the most iconic musical acts of the late twentieth century, but celebrates pop fashion, costumes, album artwork, band posters and more.

Three themes have been identified:

-  Art - the rise of artwork in branding and logos for music artists.
-  Music - the musicians and artists themselves but also the promoters who

enabled their performances to be seen
-  Pop Fashion - the influence of pop fashion in relation to the creation of

musical personas and identities.

These will be presented and recorded through a series of exhibitions, pop-ups, young person-led creative interpretation and programming. The form of these will be decided and shaped by the young people involved but could include gigs, fashion shows, exhibitions etc. We will build an online resource where the heritage can be housed digitally, a submission to local archives and an online toolkit for young people to use to interpret the heritage.

Led by Creative Youth, but delivered in partnership with the AMP youth board for the project; known as the Heritage Collective. Other key partners include: Kingston Musuem, Kingston History Centre, Kingston University, Kingston College, Anstee Bridge, Achieving for Children (Piper Active Youth Club) and The Community Brain.
