Oral History meets Community Conversation: A rich sharing of personal stories and wider reflections on Black heritage – edited into a compelling film resource.
On 6th April 2025, this wonderful hybrid workshop – devised, hosted and led by our project partner The GAP Arts Project – was the showpiece finale to our TURNING POINT public heritage activities in Birmingham.
In ‘traditional’ technically-driven oral testimony-gathering, most if not all of the participants would rate as fantastic contributors. But this isn’t individual interviews. It’s a Community Conversation, ‘provoked’ by a soft spoken genius of a facilitator, Lisa Kennedy.
Participants travelled from all parts of the city, to join us for a TURNING POINT screening and Community Conversation inspired by stories from 1920s Barbados and Jamaica.
