Some final thoughts on the CTAL Haringey project from members and volunteers from the African-Caribbean Leadership Council's Elders' group.
Honing the script for the community showing...
Preparations for the showing are underway - a 'script' written by one of the young people (Lucille) drawn from what they have learnt about the elder's group.
The poster for the community showing - a reminder of:
What is to come :)
The end of the project :(
Folk songs held great importance in Caribbean culture, and some of them are so strong they endure today, identified with by new generations. Part of the process of adding life to the images in the project was providing extra context by way of songs...
No project about the Caribbean can be complete without rhythm....and young people just naturally pick it up.
Showing young people the images. One of the best parts of the project!
Witnessing the process of them contextualising and understanding the pictures for themselves was special...
Some favourite images used in the sessions...
Washing clothes in the river - an art-form forgotten by many...
Some thoughts arising from our first session introducing young people to the images.
We found out what they knew about the Caribbean already and then saw how the images agreed with, or challenged their perceptions. The differences between life in the Caribbean 50-100 years ago and life in London today were a source of much discussion...
First meeting with the young people @ 639 centre in Tottenham.
Initial thoughts:
What will they make of the images?//What do they know about the Caribbean & its culture?//Will they be interested and engage with the images?//What are the differences between historical Caribbean lifestyles & urban life in London today?//Stories//Spoken word//Music//Design
Project promo targeting young people in Haringey
Sessions always begin with a warm-up/icebreaker to get our minds working and creative juices flowing....
For this one, we each had to think of four statements, three of which are true, and one of which a lie. Participants are tasked with identifying truth from mistruth...
Reminiscence work with the elders. The images stimulated some great conversation and revealed some interesting stories....the power of archives!!!
Reminiscence notes...places, songs, memories of the islands...
A selection inspired by meeting with the elders...
Meeting the Senior Citizens Luncheon Club group for the first time.
A great session also attended by participants of the young peoples summer-camp.
