You are invited to listen…
We are “Unbroken Records”, a podcast series about the stories that arise from the everyday objects of our lives.
In June 2022, twelve people, each with their own unique story, were drawn together from around the city of Newcastle (including 6 from Computerpals) in collaboration with Newcastle Libraries and Newcastle University in a pilot program.
The participants ranged in age from 73 to 92 years young. What happened in these workshops was a combination of luck and magic. It was an exercise in human connection which had been lacking for two years due to a global pandemic.
Over the course of four workshops, they were invited to engage creatively with their own stories, through journaling exercises, collaborative photographic practice, memory objects and the recording of this podcast.
In recording these voices and sharing these stories with you here, we continue an unbroken record of the many lives that make this city what it is.
