Electric Medway
At Electric Medway, we believe everyone is a digital storyteller. Our mission is to enable communities across Medway to get creative with new technology.
We do this through our open access programmes, where we:
- upskill Medway’s young people, artists and educators
- create stories with Medway’s diverse people and neighbourhoods
- platform Medway’s digital culture
Ultimately, our vision is that technology and the arts together make Medway an innovative and exciting place to live, work, learn and visit.
Every year, our flagship Electric Medway Festival provides free shows, exhibitions, workshops and trails for the public in libraries, schools, museums, shops and online, alongside work experience for young people. Electric Medway Hack is our free skills development programme for local young people, artists and educators, providing masterclasses in the latest technologies including virtual reality, that are not normally accessible or affordable.
Founded in 2015 by Kevin Grist (Creative Director) and Janet Moore (Executive Director), Electric Medway is known for its strong partnerships and commitment to tell immersive stories from Medway’s underrepresented communities, heritage and folklore.
