Carrying Us is an audio-visual patchwork that explores the past, present and personal of Brighton’s high street through spoken word and video collage. Imagining the high street as a vessel - a container of both commerce and community - three young Brightonians interrogate what pockets we want to preserve and protect. This is their high street, a place of potential, imagined and collective hope for a different future. The film is a collaborative project created by ​Elsa Monteith​, ​Hazel Davis​ and ​Adam Laurence​, participants of the Lighthouse Young Creatives programme.
