Speak Boldy at South Square

Speak Boldly, is an exhibition featuring artwork created by Girls Hang Out, a local group for teenagers in Allerton, organised by Urban Saints.

The work uses Anne Brontë’s legacy as a starting point to think about the potential and desire for young people in Bradford to achieve, inspire and lead.

The title and project are drawn from a story about Patrick Brontë, who once gave the children a mask and asked them to ‘Speak Boldly’ without fear of judgement, on what they wanted from life. The project used this story to talk about the masks we wear every day; on social media, with friends, and the way that our masks might make us feel bold and brave, and empowered.
