PROJECTS
TWENTY – Funded by MHPP (Medway Heritage Place Project)
TWENTY – MHPP is a community-led oral history, photography and cultural heritage initiative exploring local identity, memory, place and lived experience across the Black community living and/or working in Medway.
Combining mobile-first documentation, photography, oral storytelling, visual anthropology and born-digital archive practices, the project investigates how contemporary communities document themselves through everyday digital tools and creative participation.
The project also acts as a live testing environment for archive methodologies, ethnographic practice and accessible digital heritage systems connected to wider research and community engagement.

The Blueprint Lab is a future-focused creative learning and innovation programme supporting teenagers and young adults through photography, creative technology, digital storytelling, AI-assisted creativity, media production and interdisciplinary arts practice.
Designed to encourage confidence, experimentation, cultural awareness and creative exploration, the project provides accessible opportunities for young people to engage with contemporary creative industries, visual culture, storytelling and emerging technologies within supportive and community-informed environments.
The Black Art Hub CIC is a community-led cultural organisation supporting Black British visual arts, poetry, archives, oral history, creative technology and interdisciplinary creative practice.
Through exhibitions, workshops, talks, archive projects, educational initiatives and public programming, the organisation creates accessible spaces for creativity, cultural preservation, storytelling and community engagement.
While centred primarily on Black British lived experience and cultural heritage, the organisation also works collaboratively across wider Medway and UK creative communities to support representation, visibility and inclusive cultural participation.
THE BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH DIGITAL LIBRARY & ARCHIVES
The Benjamin Zephaniah Digital Library & Archives is a born-digital cultural heritage and research platform focused on preserving, documenting and sharing Black British archives, oral histories, creative practice, visual culture and community memory.
Combining archive development, digital preservation, oral history, photography, metadata systems and interdisciplinary research, the platform explores how contemporary digital tools can support accessible and community-led cultural heritage preservation for future generations.
A360 Micro Digital is a hyper-local creative media and digital visibility platform developed through research into representation, access and visibility within contemporary British digital culture.
Combining photography, visual storytelling, digital campaigns, creative media, AI-assisted processes, and community engagement, the project supports small businesses, artists, organisations, and local communities through accessible, culturally aware, and community-centred digital visibility strategies.
The project emerged from wider research exploring the under-representation of Black women within British STEM, media and digital industries, transforming research into public-facing creative practice and hyper-local engagement.
