Blue Description Project

Overview

Blue Description Project (BDP) is an audio description and captioning project produced by Christopher Robert Jones and Liza Sylvestre in collaboration with Voices in the Gallery—led by Dr. Sarah Hayden. Blue Description Project engages Derek Jarman's Blue (1993) via expanded and critical accessibility. As Jarman wrote in his book Chroma (1994): “If I have overlooked something you hold precious—write it in the margin”. BDP has taken up this invitation by creating a new, experimental iteration of Blue on the 30th anniversary of its release, and Jarman’s death. BDP features creative captions and audio description that have been sourced from numerous contributors. It attempts to convey, express, engage, respond, evoke, articulate, replicate, translate, transmogrify, channel, and transcend what Blue is/was/could be....
