Being Human Festival in Middlesbrough: Bridging Past and Future through Digital Storytelling

On Monday the 28th of October from 12:00 to 14:30 we will meet at the Transporte Bridge Visitor Centre in Middlesbrough and we’ll experiment with collective story-listening to interpret and showcase stories of this iconinc local landmark.

In this pre-Being Human Festival event, we draw inspiration from this still impressive bridge that has been a prominent feature of the Middlesbrough skyline since 1911 and a place for memories and encounters. Reflecting on the bridge’s symbolic significance and historical importance, participants will engage in small group storyboarding sessions to capture memories of the past and envision the region’s future.

You can register to this event on the Beign Human Hub page via this link.

Guided by Antonia Liguori and Sally Blackburn-Daniels, participants will collaboratively create an imaginative timeline, which will be featured in a public exhibition and celebration at the Transporter Bridge Visitor Centre on Saturday, the 16th of November.

This event is part of the Teesside University Being Human Festival Hub.
