2022 marks the Queens Platinum Jubilee, an extraordinary milestone in the history of our country and country. A story that crosses centuries, has witnessed the transformation of cultures, communities and identities. The constant throughout this period of change has been the service of the monarch, a monarch who has sat with fourteen Prime Ministers from Churchill to Johnson and
has devoted her life to the nation. The story of the monarch is not just the story of the crown, the government or even the individual; it is the story of her people, and therefore the people should be the ones who tell it. Artist Jamie Holman has been commissioned to produce a poetic archive that tells the story of the Queens reign, the diversity of our Lancastrian communities and the extraordinary individuals who best remember her lifetime of service. Making a formal link between the past and present, Holman will create a multi-sensory celebration of a lifetime of service, that straddles both the digital and analogue periods. Holman creates his work by interrogating history through the lens of personal narratives, whether personal ancestry or a unique story of an individual who has stood against the odds. Supported and produced by Alex Zawadzki/ Uncultured Creatives.
