Heritage Portfolio

LGK starting its heritage journey in 2016 in which it began with a book that illustrated the food journey of migrant Greek Cypriots to Birmingham.

This later developed into a female only perspective award-winning documentary known as “Queens of Amathus” in 2019.

Thereafter, the creation of another award-winning documentary in conjunction to the 2022 commonwealth games known as the “Queens of the Commonwealth”, explored the migration journeys of 22 women from various countries in the British Empire to the host city.

This has now formulated into a universal model known as “The Queens of the City”, that has now sourced both a learning and creative heritage programme.

Queens of the Commonwealth

In association in the Heritage Lottery fund in 2022 LGK released a production that re-visited the unique journey of 22 women from various Commonwealth nations that due to life’s circumstances had migrated to Birmingham the second city.

Received a prestigious award from the Royal Television Society – The Best Documentary of 2023 and is now available to watch on ITVX.

Queens of Amathus

Working with the heritage lottery fund we secured a grant to document these journeys for the 1st time in history. This then led to an independent piece of work on re living the voyage of Greek Cypriot women from Cyprus to Birmingham.
