ReelBFD: Digital Arts, Bradford Stories

Young Bradford digital artists created a new exhibition.

An exhibition created by Bradford secondary school students who worked together with professional artists.

ReelBFD: Digital Arts, Bradford Stories showcased work created by 13 and 14-year-olds from six Bradford schools, in collaboration with professional digital artists as part of the Bradford Digital Creatives project.

Through immersive video, atmospheric soundscapes and interactive games, ReelBFD explored storytelling in the digital age. Alongside students’ finished pieces, you could also discover the creative process through storyboards, plans and early drafts.

The Bradford Digital Creatives project brought together over 1,300 teenagers with leading digital artists, including Virpi Kettu, Paul Miller, Cosmos, Arfaan Amini, Tanya Vital, Caro C and Impact Gamers.
