Self Portrait UK - TV
Devised, produced and delivered by Media19, Self Portrait UK is our hugely successful cross-platform project that got people from across the UK involved in producing films, photographs, paintings and writing as a way of expressing their own identity and personality.
Self Portrait Young Parents
A project that gives a voice to young parents living in the urban and coastal districts of East Northumberland using photography and video to tell their stories and reveal the realities of life as a young teenage mum – the good times and the bad - being scared, vulnerable, desperate, depressed but also incredibly optimistic and stoic.
My Life Stories
An online project for Looked After Young People and their carers to create a space on a dedicated website, www.mylifestories.org allowing them to add and collect memories and experiences and produce their own life stories.
Comic Relief
Produced for Comic Relief as part of the Global Campaign for Education to get young people across the world to lobby the G8 leaders and support every child’s right to go to school.
Self Portrait Refugee
Developed from our flagship project Self Portrait UK, and to help combat the mostly negative images and press coverage in Britain, Self Portrait Refugee allowed Refugee & Asylum Seekers to make a creative statement about who they are, how they want to be seen and reveal their own experiences, hopes and dreams for the future.
Millenium Movies
An award winning series of films featuring a selection of visions for the new Millennium as submitted by the public including; a plea for all alleged WW1 deserters who were executed, to be pardoned; a Buddhist’s view on the new Millennium and; a single woman’s view on life and her desire to be just single.
Angel of the North
A series of short films for Channel 4 that capture the visual significance and impact of this controversial work, featuring individual responses from people who live, work or play nearby, for whom this sculpture is now part of their everyday life.
Self Portrait UK
Self Portrait UK is one of Media19’s flagship projects and the forerunner for many of our cross-platform initiatives.
Partnered by Channel 4, the National Portrait Gallery and Arts Council England, Self Portrait UK invited people of all ages to create and send in their own self-portrait and become part of a major touring exhibition that provided a real insight into the eclectic mix of identities from across the UK.
