Colouring the Past Explores our history through the lens of comedy, art and photography

Colouring the Past is a new online programme using photography, art and humour to explore our past and create a modern day colouring book.

HOW WILL THE PROGRAMME WORK?

- Submit your images for inclusion in a new colouring book and receive your own printed copy!
