About Us
We are a non-profit company limited by guarantee founded by Shivaun Woolfson and Frances Tay.
We fund our activities through contributions from private donors and where possible, grant funding.
Our Objectives
Living Imprint uses the transformational power of life stories to enlighten and educate.
- We seek to locate, collect and communicate the living histories of individuals and groups
whose stories might not otherwise be heard.
- We believe in the transformative, redemptive power of the life story and in its capacity to inspire,
educate and heal both the narrators and the listeners/audience.
- We engage in projects which showcase the uniqueness and resilience of the human
experience to raise awareness, promote understanding and engender respect and empathy.
Our methods
We aim to trace the ‘living imprints’ – the unique ways in which individuals leave their mark on the
world – and, in turn, how the world impacts them. The ‘imprints’ that we gather from our narrators –
stories, memories, objects, artifacts, family photos – will be creatively interpreted and publicly
presented through a wide range of disciplines, including photography, video, text, performance and
visual arts. Each project takes the presentational form that best suits its subject.
