Magnificent Maps: Power, Propaganda and Art is a show to overturn such expectations. It leads the visitor - a bit like some erstwhile explorer - on a creative adventure around the back of that flat piece of paper we think of as the world.

They are a series of subjective images, each shaped by the beliefs and desires, the ambitions and prejudices, the passions and anxieties of its period.

"We all hide things. From our friends and even from ourselves.

However, many of the young people we teach have chronically stressful situations to deal with on a daily basis, both at home and at school.
