Established in 2018, Boys in the Making is a dynamic place-based programme for boys and young men, which sees groups come together over time, to co-create a boy and explore his needs and experiences as he interacts with the world around him. The programme aims to explore, communicate and learn from the lived experiences and knowledge of boys and young men as they engage in a creative exploration of masculinity and its formation.
The Boys in the Making programme forms part of a long-term project called What Does He Need? - a collaboration between artist, writer and educator Dr Fiona Whelan, Rialto Youth Project and Brokentalkers theatre company.
Boys in the Making at NCAD Gallery is supported by the Arts Council of Ireland, Dublin City Council Arts Office, Rialto Youth Project and NCAD. The conference is funded through NCAD Research Seed Funding, with additional support from Heart of Glass and Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
