‘Represent’ Case Study

Represent is the first collaborative project between Ignite YorkshireIVEGeraldine Connor Foundation, and Heritage Corner, hosted by Leeds Industrial Museum.

Fifteen young people aged 16-24 were commissioned to spend four days developing interpretations of the industrial heritage of Leeds and its links to Britain’s colonial connections and Black history. Participants undertook a creative training programme to produce innovative ideas for uncovering the city’s industrial past and links to colonialism, and ways to engage future audiences with this heritage.
