We were asked by QUAD to come on board during the final stages of their preparation for the Format International Photography Festival. The aim of the project was to build an interface that enabled users to upload images of Derby and contribute to the creation of a unique map. The map was used as the digital interface during workshops that took place during the month long festival. Working to very tight deadlines we were able to complete the interactive website in time for the first round of workshops and our continued work with the team at QUAD ensured any adaptations were implemented.

FORMAT needs your help to Map Derby. Throughout FORMAT Festival we will be asking Derby visitors and residents to photograph the city streets under the theme of ‘Right Here, Right Now’. Each photograph will be uploaded and geo-tagged to create a unique map of the city. Give us your thoughts, memories and inspirations of the city. There will be a growing installation in The Royal Insurance Buildings, 2 The Strand, Derby where a 3D map of the city will grow day by day. We will be offering FREE drop in photography workshops, come and take part 10am - 3pm Saturday 12th, 19th, 26th throughout March. There will also be creative photo challenges for groups and individuals. Look out for the QR codes across the city. We are offering 15 free workshops to clubs and groups on the themes of 'night photography', 'portraits' and 'montage' at dates and times to suit you.
