Burnley 2075 was a masterclass for the National Saturday Club in Hull, that Madeleine Kessler and Manijeh Verghese were invited to teach by the National Saturday Club. Our masterclass reimagined Burnley in 60 years time, exploring a scenario where the population of Britain had expanded exponentially, forcing Burnley to grow from a market town into a bustling metropolis. Our session looked at creating a newspaper and short animation, where the class re-imagined what Burnley's skyline would look like, where people would live, and how the city would function as people go about their daily lives.
The National Saturday Club is a free programme that gives 13–16-year-olds across the UK the opportunity to study creative subjects at universities, colleges and cultural institutions, with practising professionals leading hands-on Masterclasses.
