Tyneside Cinema talk and screenings
Thank you to all the people who came to listen to Hugh Kelly of Swingbridge Video reflect on the changes on Tyneside over the past thirty five years. Film extracts looked at areas like Scotswood, the Meadowell and East Gateshead and themes of deindustrialisation, poverty and culture were explored. Can co-produced cultural activities using art and digital media benefit local people facing increased levels of poverty, benefit changes and cuts to public funding?
This talk was part of the Remaking Society project involving academics and practitioners exploring current arts practice and social change. Read about Remaking Society here.

Our Food
Since our film was screened in London at the main project launch, the issues around food have received national prominence. We highlighted the fact that half the worlds population is on the verge of starvation and the other half is faced with growing obesity. Read about the Our Food project
Our film argues that creating new dialogues between local people and scientists may lead to much needed change in our discredited food system. Watch it here
