Reaching Out To Da Yuff - photo

 

A signed and framed photograph by Sarah Corbett.

An edition of 5, this is a photograph of the Scorsese quote embroidered mini protest banner hanging up on a run down football pitch in Southwark, London, UK where kids hang out and drink.

 Embroidered with the words “It seems to me that any sensible person must see that violence does not change the world & if it does, then only temporarily"

 

Worried by the growing number of young gangs and increase in severe violence by postcode gangs, Sarah wanted to communicate something with young people on this issue. Scorsese films such as Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and The Departed are often enjoyed by young men for their violence. Sarah hopes that this Scorsese quote will challenge the views of young people caught up in violence.
