Culture, Heritage & Arts Projects for Clients.

Currently, 2015-2020, David is Project- and Creative-Director for the HLF £1M project, The National Disability Arts Collection and Archive. This heritage story captures and preserves that great and incredible moment in British cultural, political and artistic history, when a group of disabled people and their allies broke barriers, helped change the law and made great culture about those fights. Story is conflict, they say, and this story is being dramatically preserved and retold in pioneering digital ways, including high end Hasselblad copying, over 100 pop up exhibitions, an NDACA Wing For Learning, and over 50 films screening in digital touring cinema. A project that has already gained One Million social media impressions in its first production year, we go live in 2018 and the NDACA heritage story will play to Five Million users and audiences in England, in the UK and globally.
