A Parallel Project

BOYS DON'T CRY.

SOMETIMES ART SAYS WHAT PEOPLE CAN'T.

Boys Don't Cry is a space to explore mental wellbeing, identity, masculinity, vulnerability, strength, emotion and self-expression through graffiti, characters, and contemporary art.

It challenges the idea that men and boys must hide difficult emotions. It is designed to make room for honest work, different experiences and the quiet power of being heard.

Art, street culture, creativity and conversation can create opportunities for people to connect, express themselves and engage.
