Living Legends: Hidden Histories aims to uncover the hidden stories of Corby and reflect the changing population of the town. Taking inspiration from the ‘Humans of New York’ social media campaign, we will be looking for local people who have an extraordinary story to tell; an incredible experience, an uncelebrated achievement or a surprising fact about their life. The project is about reflecting the diversity of Corby and discovering the new story of our community.
We are looking for a writer to work with a photographer to:
• Visit up to 10 Living Legends nominated through the project.
• Capture their stories through writing.
• Advise and support the Made in Corby team in curating the exhibition and accompanying book
Project activity between February and May 2018
Deadline for Applications: 9am on Friday 22 December 2017
