Our storytelling experts Laura Yates and Edwin Pink, have worked together for over 20 years. With a working knowledge of the importance of food to communities, they bring a wealth of complimentary experience and skills. Laura, participation specialist, creative project leader and writer, and Edwin, creative producer and digital storyteller, want to work with you to capture memories of Knowsley’s food and farming heritage.
“I am excited to be working on the Feedback ‘Growing Knowsley’s Future – Celebrating Our Agricultural Past’ project, collaborating with local people. We are looking to capture some interesting heritage stories which will hopefully provide a platform for examining the past, present and future of food in Knowsley.”
We’re hoping to capture 12 personal stories from people with living memories. Culminating in these stories being showcased in our final exhibition, shining a light on the people who lived and worked the land.
