SICK! CARS FILM

As part of our delivery of SICK! CARS  we commissioned Videographer Ryan Cooper  to create a short film. Exploring the main themes of SICK! CARS in more detail we hear from lead Artists Woodrow Pheonix & Courtney Hayles  as well as participants and SICK! Creative Producer Steve Vickers as we unveil the finished cars on The Green as part of SICK! Festival 2022.

Running time: 7 mins, 17 secs

Cars are sometimes seen as an extension of our identities. Particularly for young men, cars can become symbols or power and status. I’m strong, I’m fast, I’m an individual: Don’t stand in my way…

SICK! Cars is a new project that challenges these stereotypes about masculinity and looks at the pressures we put on people to ‘be a man’! Two ‘vinyl-wrapped’ cars have been covered in amazing artwork created by artists Woodrow Phoenix, Courtney Hayles and a group of young men based in North Manchester. Get ready to challenge notions of masculinity and everything that you thought you knew about men! Created with support from Autotrader.
