About this episode

A selection of animations inspired by Bury?s Text Festival. Includes: OU A Spelling Nightmare, OU Their Journey Into Words, Do You Remember?, Frith and Freya, Return of The Lost Words and Pub Burials. For more info please visit: www.letsgoglobal.tv The focus of the project was to work with a group of local residents to develop a series of digital art work inspired by the annual Bury Text Festival. The project aimed to engage the local community to serve as a fun, accessible and relevant introduction to the concept behind Text Art. The project was delivered in partnership with Bury Council?s Arts Development Service and recruitment was targeted at members of the local Script.Com and Eagles Asylum community groups. Through a series of workshop sessions the group created a collection of animations exploring topics such as narrative, extinct words, fonts, word play and local history. The final animations were showcased at the Bury Met in June 2009.
