project info
Led by artist Liz Mytton, this project co-created a music track with a group of young Black people connected to the BD5 area around the theme of ‘rootedness’. A documentary-style film was produced highlighting the stories and lived experiences of Black communities who lived in Newby Square. Liz delivered poetry workshops with 153 young people based on the track that had been created and used this to explore themes of equality and privilege. A documentary film about the development of the project is currently being edited and will launch in November. Partnership between The Leap and Bradford 2025.
