\n Odyssey Media House CIC has launched A City in Frames, a creative initiative aimed at giving residents the opportunity to capture the people, places and moments that define Bradford.\n<\/p>\n
\n The project will feature free photography workshops, guided storytelling sessions, a public exhibition and a short documentary film showcasing images and stories from across the district.\n<\/p>\n
Celebrating Bradford through local perspectives<\/p>\n
\n Open to anyone aged 13 and over, the project aims to remove barriers to participation by encouraging people to use their smartphones to tell their stories.\n<\/p>\n
\n Participants will work alongside local photographers, filmmakers, artists and community organisations to develop creative skills while helping create a visual archive of Bradford’s communities.\n<\/p>\n
\n Oluwadamilola Adetomiwa, chief executive of Odyssey Media House CIC, said the initiative would give residents the chance to share unique perspectives on the city.\n<\/p>\n
\n They said: “A City in Frames recognises that every resident experience Bradford differently\u2026every street, every neighbourhood and every community holds stories that deserve to be seen and remembered.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Workshops and photography walks<\/p>\n
\n The programme will begin with a series of free workshops taking place across Bradford during August and September.\n<\/p>\n
\n Participants will receive practical guidance on mobile photography before taking part in guided photography walks led by experienced local creatives.\n<\/p>\n
\n Images and video footage collected throughout the project will then be curated into a citywide exhibition and incorporated into a professionally produced 15-minute documentary.\n<\/p>\n
\n Organisers say the film will explore the different stories, cultures and experiences that make up Bradford.\n<\/p>\n
Building a lasting visual archive<\/p>\n
\n As well as the exhibition, Odyssey Media House CIC plans to host community discussions, artist talks, film screenings and interactive storytelling events.\n<\/p>\n
\n Project lead Gbolajesu Amusa said the initiative is designed to ensure local stories are preserved and shared by the people who experience them every day.\n<\/p>\n
\n They said: “Some of the most powerful stories about a city are often the ones that go undocumented,\n<\/p>\n
\n “This project is about giving people the tools and platform to capture the people, places and moments that matter to them.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Encouraging participation in the arts<\/p>\n
\n The organisation hopes the project will boost participation in the arts, support local creative talent and encourage greater cultural exchange between communities.\n<\/p>\n
\n By the end of the project, organisers say A City in Frames will have created a lasting archive reflecting Bradford’s diversity, heritage and identity.\n<\/p>\n
