My Voice! My Place! connected the community of Carlton with an artist. Together they designed and worked on a project that set out to change how locals feel about their area. The project is about letting local voices shape perceptions about where they live.
The Residents Panel
Coming together for food and conversation, residents from Jigsaw Homes properties joined other local people to shape a creative project about their area. They chose to work with a filmmaker to produce a short film about Carlton, celebrating its people and places.
The Film
The short film, Carlton, England, captures places, spaces and voices that make up Carlton, Nottinghamshire. Contributors range from Jigsaw Homes residents to local business owners. Carefully collaged together by filmmaker Owen Davies, it is a celebration of the people and places that make Carlton special.
The film was premiered at a special community event in the Richard Herrod Centre in Carlton. Nearly 100 local people attended the premiere.
