DIGITAL images of life in a rural community from a teenager's perspective is to form an exhibition.

Video artist Peter Allinson has been helping young people from Evenwood to capture life in their village, and the results will provide an exhibition at Bishop Auckland's Discovery Centre.

Evenwood Uncovered was created by five teenagers from the village, and the film will be shown alongside digital images which the youngsters have created, at the Discovery Centre next month.

Pat Maycroft, Seen and Heard project coordinator said there are other similar projects planned for other villages in the area.

"The whole idea came from a survey done which found that kids between 11 and 15 years old felt they had nothing to do."

The exhibition opens on March 1, between 11am and 4pm
