OUT140

OUT140 is a project from Shelly Telly and Vince Laws for Norwich Pride. It began life on the huge FUSION screen in the Forum in January 2010. OUT140 is about ordinary people just like you telling us their Coming Out Story in 140 characters or less - a "tweet" on Twitter. We invited LGBT people to tell us what it was like for them coming out and asked families and friends to let us know their side of the story too. Community Filmmaker Shelly Telly and her assistant Michael Fletcher supported people to make films lasting just 12 SECONDS to accompany the written tales.

OUT140 was part of the Dandies Exhibition at St Margaret's Church in May 2010 where it was screened on two old tellies. It then moved onto the Norwich Arts Centre for Norwich Pride where it was presented as huge pieces of text around the Centre, with an art installation from Vince Laws in the bar. In October 2010 OUT140 will feature as part of COAST - the Sheringham and Cromer Arts Festival. It will be housed in Merchants Place in the centre of Cromer. There is an opening party on Friday 22nd October from 5-7pm and the Sing with Pride Choir will perform at the closing party from 2-4pm on Sunday 31st October.
