Catcher Media’s Herefordshire Life Through A Lens is an archive, oral history and film-making project based on the photographic archive of Derek Evans Studio. Together with Catcher Media we have developed a set of resources that can be used in older people’s settings to facilitate creative sessions. There is a variety of Visual Arts, Music, Reminiscence and Performing Arts activities based on a selection of Derek Evans photographs. These photographs may be of particular relevance to people from the county and who grew up between the 1950s to 1970s.
RESOURCES
Here you can download the Herefordshire Life through a Lens resources for running your own creative workshops with older people. If you would like to see more of the Derek Evans archive, follow link to the Herefordshire Life Through a Lens website.
The main resources are 6 x A3 cards featuring an individual photograph from the archive. On the back of each card is information about the photograph, and a list of Creative Workshop Prompts for the facilitator.
