Grace Swordy is the Accentuate History of Place Project Co-ordinator based in Bristol.
We’ve been talking to WECIL members since the beginning of the History of Place project, and invited them to a tour of ‘Brave, Poor Things: Reclaiming Bristol’s Disability History’ and a workshop.
Moving towards our exhibition at MShed, with help from various organisations in Bristol Grace discusses how an exploration of deaf and disabled lives in the past can positively affect the present.
How do you go about creating a digital game from local, historical archive material? One of our workshop participants describes the experience.
If you are aged 13-30, interested in gaming, media, history, storytelling, or want to learn new skills, come and be part of a groundbreaking project exploring history and disability.
Could you lead two afternoon workshops in Bristol during April?
The story of feminist and champion of the rights of disabled people, Ada Vachell, and how she created the Bristol Guild.
Young people involved in creating a film about the ‘Guild of the Brave Poor Things’ in Bristol presented the film they created and discussed how to approach the language of the past.
Laurine Groux-Moreau reflected on language and disability at the History of Place event which took place at the MShed on Saturday 3rd December 2016. This is her talk.
At last our researchers get to see inside the building they have been learning about in the archives for eight months – and respond to it creatively.
Our film will be screened in Bristol in early December 2016.
