Funded by Voices Gloucester, and facilitated by Dialect Writers CIC, The Time is Now is a community heritage project that records volunteers and community workers in Gloucester for the historical record. The project features three brilliant portraits by Emilie Sandy and will be on display in the Museum of Gloucester from October 2025 until January 2026.

For this project, I was commissioned to document the photoshoots of each subject, resulting in the creation of three short moving portraits. These will be exhibited in the museum alongside their portraits and subsequently included in the Gloucestershire Archives.

“This project seeks to show what happens when communities can tell their own story, in a way that will be visible for future generations. It shows what both our history and our future can look like, when we create it for ourselves.” Read more about the project here: https://www.dialect.org.uk/timeisnow-intro
