Right Up Our Street have been visiting locations across Doncaster and photographing residents as part of the Inside Out Project — a global participatory art movement created by artist JR that has united over 600,000 people across 154 countries through the power of large-scale black and white portrait photography displayed in public spaces.
Nearly 1,000 young people have been photographed and will be showcased publicly at a secret location as part of We Are Donny — celebrating the faces and stories that make our community what it is.
Over 200 adult faces have been captured and will be exhibited on the side of a building in central Doncaster, transforming the city's public spaces into a living portrait gallery.
"We Are Donny is about celebrating who we are as a city. Doncaster is creative, warm, and full of community spirit — and this project puts those faces front and centre, out in the streets where everyone can see them. Being part of something that connects us to over 600,000 people worldwide is a reminder that art isn't just for some people. It's for all of us." — Sally Lockey, Director, Right Up Our Street.
We Are Donny is Right Up Our Street's Group Action within the Inside Out Project. Over recent months, the team has been out across Doncaster — visiting communities, schools, and local areas — to photograph the faces that define this city. The resulting black and white portraits will be printed at the iconic Inside Out scale of 90cm x 135cm and pasted in two very special locations.
The We Are Donny action will take shape across two separate public installations. Nearly 1,000 portraits of young people will be revealed at a secret location. A second installation, featuring over 200 adult portraits, will be displayed on the side of a prominent building in central Doncaster.
Once installed, the portraits will be documented and archived on the Inside Out Project's global map at www.insideoutproject.net
