LOCAL people will show off their work as part of two projects on the theme of pride at a special exhibition.

Earlier this year, Middlesbrough Borough Council's Arts Development Team arranged for a group of youngsters to work with theatre group Jack Drum Arts to create a performance work called Pride.

The show is based on young people's pride relating to their achievements, families, relationships and environments. It was premiered on BBC Music Live Day in May and toured community venues in the summer.

Running parallel to this, photographer Karen Melvin has been working with community groups to create images of their own ideas of pride.

The projects will come together tomorrow at Middlesbrough's Southlands Centre when the Pride is performed for the last time and the photographic exhibition launches its community tour.
