The Right Here & Tomorrow journey
Join us to celebrate!
Join us to celebrate the launch of Right Here & Tomorrow, Milton Keynes’ youth culture zine.
Artist call out for anyone under 25
Throughout November we’ll be releasing ten statements selected by the Right Here & Tomorrow editorial team, all aged 16-25. Each statement has been distilled from wider consultation with young communities across Milton Keynes in settings such as secondary schools, sixth forms, youth groups and MK College. We’re looking for ten artists under 25, and based in Milton Keynes, to respond to these ten statements.
Submit a photo that expresses you!
We want to celebrate the diversity of youth culture in Milton Keynes. To do this, we need you! Submit a photo that expresses you, right here, right now in 2022. If selected for print by the Right Here & Tomorrow editorial team, you’ll be paid £50.
Aged 13-19 and interested in photography?
Join a photography expedition around central Milton Keynes for Right Here & Tomorrow, MK’s youth culture zine launching soon. You’ll be part of a small and super friendly group, seeking out and photographing the theme of ‘youth culture’ – this is open to interpretation and could include people, places or objects. No pressure and no wrong answers – this is a space for you to experiment and explore photography in the public realm.

Workshops for youth groups

Schools workshops
Students from Milton Keynes secondary schools are airing their views on youth culture in the city at unique ‘Long Table’ workshops.
