New Earswick

Letting in the Light were commissioned by social researchers from Staffordshire University to work with New Earswick, York, residents and school pupils from Joseph Rowntree School via a series of in-school and community-based workshops.

Activities included interviews, home video extracts, on-location photography and filming, and wax resist on to silk panels. The aim of the project was to encourage links between young and old in the village.

This work was part of a project aimed at building better relationships between residents in New Earswick and was funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
