‘16-60: A Woman’s Voice’ engaged 50 young
women from minority ethnic backgrounds in a creative project to explore and
share the heritage of Butetown.
The girls interviewed older women from
Butetown and created a documentary film. They were so inspired by the women’s
stories that they went on to create more films, a song, a huge work of art and
a fashion show to present what they had discovered about their heritage to the
wider community.
The project has come to a close with 2
fantastic events – the launch of a month-long exhibition at Cardiff Story
Museum in October with 80 people, and a fashion show at the Global Eid
Extravaganza in City Hall before an audience of 500!
The girls told us that the project helped
them to make new friends, grow in confidence, find out about their heritage and
try new things. They certainly impressed us all. Well done to everyone involved
in this fantastic project.
– thanks to media student Catrin Elen Rees for sharing the film with
us.
