A Song For Shieldfield

Workshop

After asking residents if they knew of a Shieldfield-focussed folk song, pop song or nursery rhyme, and none were forthcoming we decided to make our own.

Co-written, co-sung and recorded all in one in a workshop led by Ceitidh Mac and Andrew Wilson at Shieldfield Art Works on Saturday 22 October, 2022. All were welcome. No experience in music or song writing necessary.

What can we learn from our past to improve our future? An evening of archive films including local news reports, Tyne Tees Television Documentaries, and community made films with a focus on the Shieldfield and the wider North East region.

Do It Ourselves Archive

Workshop

Saturday 14th May, 2022

10am

Shieldfield Art Works

What is an archive? And how can we co-create one that reflects the stories and people of Shieldfield? This workshop led-by Andrew Wilson, Alison Atkinson Philips and Hannah Marsden (from Dwellbeing Shieldfield), we invited community members to role play interview techniques to understand how it feels to be met with permission forms and recording devices.

From this process, we co-created a protocol for both the filming and for the development of the community archive.
