Ed here to tell you about a project we are running this week called Sounds like Graffiti with Nation of Aslam, the participants are young people from Bradford special schools. The idea is that we are going to make stories about living in Bradford, we will be using audio recording and some filming. It’s quite a big group, a lot of the participants have done previous projects with us so they were showing the new people where everything was. We are working with Shabina, Sam and Martin from Nation of Aslam.
