Our Vivid Stories is a partnership project between LGBT Youth Scotland, GOMA (gallery of modern art) and Our Story Scotland. Funded by GOMA and LGBT Youth Scotland, the work was developed by Our story Scotland supported by LGBT Youth staff.

Nine young people worked for 12 weeks, on average 6 hours per week, constructing  ‘their individual stories’ an then creating individual films to tell their story.  There is a wide and varied mix of different digital media formats used including music, film, photography, drawing, cartoons, stock frame animation and others. Each story is approximately 5 min long and the young people verbally narrate their own story.
