RESEARCHING YOUR PAST AND PRESENT STORIES
TESTIMONIALS
Stacey Bagdi, Curator, Headstone Manor & Museum
"I was delighted to have the opportunity to work alongside Abigail to deliver a co-curated exhibition and project on celebrating Gregory Isaacs in Harrow. Abigail was inspirational in what she wanted to achieve in the project and managed to collect a number of new exciting oral histories."
LEWISHAM BLACK HISTORY MONTH
"She contributed enormously to the oral reminiscence strand of a Lewisham Black History Month project which went on to be featured on Robert Elms’ radio show. Her preparation prior to commencing project work and prompt delivery of work is impressive. She quickly developed a rapport with each of our very different contributors. Each transcribed interview reflected each distinct personality as well as the experiences they had in common, making the resulting body of work an interesting read for the general public."

MARGINS TO MAINSTREAM DOCUMENTARY
"She is a skilled researcher who found hidden gems of information which shaped our joint project immensely. She also got involved in the actual film production, as well as helping us to exec the final documentary. Her influence on the project was crucial as she was able to develop key relationships which aided the making of the film."
