Jason Miller, Consumer Marketing Manager EMEA, Instagram, said: “We believe in the importance of self-discovery and creativity for young people and that’s why we’re celebrating them with the launch of ‘Doing Yours’. Britain’s youth are endlessly exploring and experimenting with who they are, and so we felt it was important to give them the opportunity to help shape the ultimate artwork created in collaboration with Hervision. This installation explains exactly what the campaign is about and how we can encourage young people to continue exploring who they can be.

Zabiba Jabbar, co-founder of Harvision, said: “More than previous generations, British Generation Z have unlimited access to information. In and always connected to the world.
“My work with Instagram celebrates this exciting approach to self-discovery, especially the way Gen Z uses the platform to build community and explore who they can be. Myself and the Hervision team were inspired by the Instagram Reels that created the foundation. The artwork; the creativity and breadth of the ways it’s expressed.”
