The Inspire Artist's Residency is a community project, led by me, Azma Dar, a writer, with the aim of exploring the stories and memories of people living in Corby. The project is funded by Made in Corby, an Arts Council supported initiative that helps local people take part in arts activities.
Over the next few weeks I'll be working with people in the local community to talk about their memories and experiences, and will be sharing them on this blog.
I've already begun working with the wonderful residents of Glenmoor House Care Home, and they've been reminiscing about everything from ration cards to the Royal Marines. It's a real privilege to listen to the lovely stories they have, and I look forward to sharing them on here. And if you live in Corby and have a story to tell- then please get in touch. Quirky, funny, scary, romantic- we want to hear about them!
