So What Heritage is a two-year collaboration between Beacon Films and Great North Museum, Hancock, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
We are seeking creative disabled and neurodivergent people to take part in our project to explore museum collections through film.
In these workshops, we will help you make short films and video art using both mobile devices and professional equipment.
Your films will be inspired by objects you find at the Great North Museum. This is a chance to give new life to old things and share your unique view on heritage.
The videos you make will be shown inside the museum and on social media. This will help more people see and understand heritage from a different perspective.
If you are interested to take part, please email Michelle at getinvolved@beaconfilms.org.uk
So What Heritage is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to create video installations that reinterpret museum collections from the unique perspectives of disabled and neurodivergent filmmaking talent.
The National Lottery Heritage Fund is the largest funder for the UK's heritage. Using money raised by National Lottery players we support projects that connect people and communities to heritage. Our vision is for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future. From historic buildings, our industrial legacy and the natural environment, to collections, traditions, stories and more. Heritage can be anything from the past that people value and want to pass on to future generations. We believe in the power of heritage to ignite the imagination, offer joy and inspiration, and to build pride in place and connection to the past.
