In Full Colour is a projection-mapped artwork created by Rebecca Smith in collaboration with young people from Derbyshire LGBT+ in Chesterfield. Developed over several weeks, the project combined original sound design and spoken word to celebrate and amplify LGBTQIA+ voices in the local community.

The piece was projected onto Bolsover Castle, a site that holds deep personal significance for Rebecca, having been a familiar landmark from her childhood and a place she now shares with her children. Seeing this vibrant celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community illuminating such a historic setting was both powerful and moving - a moment that extended far beyond the visuals themselves.

Working alongside the young participants was central to the project. Their thoughtfulness, creativity, and passion shaped the final piece, transforming it into a collective expression of identity and pride. Watching the audience engage with the work - smiling, reflecting, and occasionally moved to tears—underscored the vital importance of creating these kinds of spaces for expression.

Commissioned by Dreamy Place and Videoclub, with support from Junction Arts, English Heritage, and Bolsover Castle, In Full Colour highlights the power of community collaboration. In an often polarised media landscape, projects like this offer a platform for young voices to be seen, heard, and truly celebrated.
