‘Fantastic project – so interesting to hear about the artists but also in the context of their area – the wonderful, quirky Intra. Great work – felt like the artists were in control of their portrait too. LOVE IT!’ – Paul Cowell, Head of Culture and Libraries · Medway Council
‘Thank you to all our Superstars.’ – Councillor Vince Maple, Leader Medway Council
‘Fantastic, essential work! Hoping to see more and more of this kind of creative action.’ – Kevin Grist, Artistic Director, Electric Medway
‘I found the films to portray a uniquely interesting study on each artist and I really enjoyed the sense of place that came across as the artists talked about their work. I gained a new perspective on each one as they shared about the things that drive them in their creative journey.’ Alex Cameron ( Co-Chair, Intra Community Trust).

Update on the progress of the 4 film-portraits for Old High Street Intra
Lead Artist Margherita Gramegna says ‘We are thrilled by the wide range of artists who applied to be part of Medway Superstars,
The opportunity for artists to submit to our Open Call was widely advertised across 51zero, Medway Arts and Creative Medway social media channels and newsletters as well as those of our partners HSHAZ, Medway Council, Cement Fields and a range of artists networks.
We received over 50 submissions from a broad range of artists both in terms of artistic disciplines and levels of experience from emerging to internationally recognised and everything in between.
We formed a cross disciplinary advisory panel with local, regional, national and international experience to support us in making a well balanced final selection using a range of criteria.
The panel were: Sue Jones, Peter Fillingham, Thea Behrman, Peter Hatton, Amer Kamal, Fiona Watt and Alex Cameron.
I would like to thank them all for their time and dedication to this process.
It was a real challenge!’
We are delighted to announce that the 4 artists selected to represent OLD HIGH ST INTRA are:
Christopher Sacre – Artist and Art Facilitator
Jane Pitt – Audio / Visual Artist
Jake Wood – Performance and Intervention Artist
Sarah Blacker Barrowman – Milliner
You can find out more about them in Artists Portrait Films
We will be announcing the remaining 6 artists selected for Medway Superstars, representing the rest of Medway very soon!.
The final film of all 10 artists selected will be showcased as part of Medway Culture Fest 2024.
