Storying Sheffield Exhibition and Showcase - Friday 11th June 2010
Sunday, May 16, 2010 STORYING SHEFFIELD EXHIBITION AND SHOWCASE
Friday 11th June 2010
Jessop West Exhibition Space, University of Sheffield
Storying Sheffield is an innovative art and community project hosted at the University of Sheffield. The project involves students and people from the city working together to produce films, digital artefacts, artwork, narratives and many other representations of the lives of Sheffield people, and the ‘life’ of this major British city. The project works with people who come from groups which have tended to be socially excluded, such as long-term users of mental health services. Using an exciting blend of techniques and media, Storying Sheffield is creating a living portrait of everyday life in Sheffield, and giving voice to people whose stories are rarely heard.
A public exhibition and showcase event will take place on Friday June 11th 2010, in the Jessop West Exhibition Space at the University of Sheffield. The exhibition will provide a unique opportunity to engage with the creative work, unique artefacts, and stories of participants. The showcase event will tell the story of the project's genesis and development.
The exhibition will open at 10.00am with the showcase event happening at 2.00pm.
