About this episode
TV-UNA 2009 BAVC Producers Institute ProjectProject Director: Marc Boothe The Elders Project is a major cross-media project from B3Media in the UK that will engage inter-generational participants using a combination of photography, oral history, video, spoken word, text and interactive digital platforms to document and preserve the untold stories of the first generation of African-Caribbean settlers who came to Britain in the early 50's. The Elders Project will provide a voice to under-represented young people and elders both in the UK and the US, engaging new, transitional audiences with innovative ways to tell their stories. At the Institute, the B3 team designed a three-tiered model of both live physical and virtual spaces where participants experience and create content through a remix interface in the tradition of ‘call and response.' In this unique cultural mashup, the project manages to incorporate a major photographic museum exhibition, an online/virtual gallery, and an inter-generational social networking/storytelling platform with robust content management tools. Marc Boothe is the Executive Director of B3 Media, one of the UK's leading creative hubs for emerging black and minority ethnic artists and producers.
