[ FRAMEDWAY ] - Photomosaic Project
During spring 2008 Medway based community group HeART Medway, supported by Awards For All and Medway Council, will create a spectacular piece of site-specifc public art in the Rochester Castle Gardens, featuring a digitally printed photomosaic installation made out of thousands of images highlighting local people’s heritage. The photomosaic is designed to encourage people to take time to study the individual images, broadening and increasing their knowledge of the local heritage.
The installation explores and demonstrates the relationships between different communities and their heritage while providing a better understanding of people, places and cultures in our local community.
Accompanying Activities
Medway residents and community groups are invited to submit images of what they consider to be a visual interpretation of ‘their heritage’ for the artwork. These can be images of individuals, groups, families, objects, buildings etc. Visit the [ framedway ] website 
to find out how you can contribute.
As part of the project, HeART Medway organises a series of accompanying educational workshops and community events in the Rochester Castle Gardens and various other heritage locations in Medway area, culminating in an exhibition towards the end of the project, showcasing a selection of the submitted images and artwork produced in the workshops.
The workshops, based around the photomosaic theme, explore local people’s connection with their own heritage, Medway area and its history and include crafts and arts activities, literacy and history sessions.
The workshops are free and open to all ages and abilities. For further information and to book a place please contact us by email at info@heartmedway.gov.uk.
