A story to tell

In 2019-2020 the ESRC funded 'Reanimating data: experiments with people, places and archives'. Part of the project involved staging a series of reanimations using data from interviews with young women from Manchester, conducted thirty years previously as part of the Women, Risk and AIDS Project (WRAP 1988-1990). Each reanimation involved a collaboration between young women, educators and researchers and used creative methods to explore the WRAP data and bring it to life in new ways.

This item is a short animated film made by Emma Okomoh at a Youth Project in Manchester with support from Manchester Libraries. The film is a response to extracts from an interview with Tonya (AMB18) about her relationship with her parents and testing boundaries as a teenage young woman. The audio is read by members of the Youth Project girls group and is adapted from the original interview transcript. Emma says that this is Tonya's story and also her story.
