Our design was inspired by the struggles Gen Z Teenagers face daily.
Nova represents the struggles that young people face once hitting puberty; an intense mix of feelings and overwhelming and conflicting influences. All youth club members had the opportunity to create designs for the rabbit, and influence the message they wanted to portray. Once a theme had emerged, a core group of members created the colours and final wording to be used to create Nova. Nova is a gender-neutral Gen Z teen, with attitude, style but also internal struggles, trying to navigate tricky years safely, sanely, and with a little bit of stardust thrown in.
Peter Rabbit™: Tales on the Tyne Grand Finale Auction
The finale event of Tales on the Tyne will see the sculptures under the spotlight one last time, finding their forever homes at auction.
Almost all of the large sculptures will go under the hammer in a bidding spectacular, with funds raised supporting the work of St Oswald’s Hospice. There will also be a live online auction running in sync with the ‘in the room’ bids, which is guaranteed to build the excitement and healthy competition to snap up one of these unique pieces of art.
