Gloucester’s Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities share their stories from the 75 years. We will create a month-long, interactive, dual-language and multi artform exhibition, culminating in a live one day festival style event which animates the exhibition and celebrates the stories of local people.
We aim to create 4-5 minute documentary piece looking at the first interracial marriage in the city of Gloucester. We hope to help develop the conversation around identity, race and culture, challenging societal norms and historic views in this area.
A short film, photography exhibition, website and handbook to capture the History of Muslims in Gloucester. The project will be created/displayed at The Friendship Cafe. There will also be an online presence with a dedicated website and a documentary and printed publications.
I want to create a visual documentary, focusing on the LGBT nightlife and community in Gloucestershire, spanning the years 1980-1990. A tribute to the thriving LGBT bars of the 80s and 90s – simultaneously celebrating the LGBGT community and the places they found liberation and hope, whilst mourning the scene and highlighting how important these places were. It ends on a message of hope, unlike other pieces on the loss of these venues. It is an engaging documentary, inciting feelings of hope and positivity.
The Lost Library of Llanthony project is both a film and outreach project which explores in depth the remarkable survival of 180 mediaeval manuscripts created or once held at Llanthony Secunda Priory in Gloucester. 90 of the books date from the 12th century, providing a unique insight into mediaeval life and scholarship.
