In Full Colour is a projection-mapped artwork created in collaboration with young people from Derbyshire LGBT+ in Chesterfield. Developed over several weeks, the project brought together spoken word, text and sound to explore identity, visibility and belonging, centring LGBTQIA+ voices from the local community.

The work was projected onto Bolsover Castle, using the building’s architecture as a canvas for layered visuals that responded to the scale and texture of the site. Typography, colour and motion were used to carry the participants’ words across the surface, combining with an original soundscape to create a piece that moved between quiet, reflective moments and more direct, declarative statements.

The project was shaped through a series of workshops, where participants developed writing, shared experiences and experimented with how their voices could exist within a large-scale public artwork. Their contributions form the core of the piece, with the final work emerging through this collaborative process.

Presented as part of a public programme, the installation opened up the site as a space for reflection, visibility and shared experience. In Full Colour shows how projection can be used to reframe historic architecture, creating space for contemporary voices and lived experience to sit visibly and confidently within it.
