VIMEO PLAYLIST
‘Family Stories’ (2009) was a participative project done with the children of 4J at Gospel Oak school, London NW3, investigating their understandings of and feelings about family, home and locality. I worked with Sabina Woodward, a parent from the school, to facilitate the children to produce artworks on the theme of their families, and then the children were interviewed about the meaning of their art pieces. I then made 4 photo-animation videos using the children and this material – ‘Family Stories: Hall, Classroom, Garden and Playground’. This project is part of my PhD research at Sussex University, ‘Moving On’, that investigates social mobility in place. This project fulfilled the aims of: building trust with the Gospel Oak school, children and parents; giving the school something back for their co-operation in my PhD research; producing data for the research.
