With Cornwall Audio Visual Archive (CAVA)

http://cornishstories.com

Collaborating with project manager and artist Sarah Chapman and artist educator Ali Roscoe we ran a broad range of creative workshops in primary schools across Cornwall, inspired by stories of Cornish farming from farming families in each area. This was brought together in exhibitions and community celebrations in each of the five areas we worked with, as well as a free series of resource packs for use with Key Stage 2 children which can be found at http://farmingstories.com/

The workshops explored themes such as Cornish dialect, field names, farming traditions, celebrations and seasonal rituals, the uses of and stories behind historical artefacts, changes in farming over time and what’s happening in farming today. These were instigated by digital stories made to document and bring to life individual farmer’s personal audio visual accounts.
