“Imagination, working at full strength,

can shake us out of fatal, adoring self-absorption

and make us look up and see – with terror or with relief –

that the world does not in fact belong to us at all”

Ursula K. Le Guin

Every story has the potential to inspire change

As a female-led, multidisciplinary storytelling studio – we partner with communities, organisations and local authorities – to uncover and share the stories that matter most.

From preserving the rich histories of LGBTQ+ communities in Newham to fostering global conversations about climate change through participatory arts – our work spans heritage, creativity, and social impact. We also offer tailored services like participatory video for impact measurement and conscious creativity workshops that empower others to tell their own stories—whether for personal growth, organisational impact, or global engagement.

Storytelling isn’t just what we do; it’s who we are as humans — an ancient, universal tradition that connects us to our ancestors, shapes our identities, and inspires our collective future. Every project, workshop and collaboration is an opportunity to amplify underrepresented voices, celebrate diversity, highlight resilience and connection.

Testimonials

"I really liked the way you brought different voices and participants into your tour however, drawing on other local knowledge. Also I appreciated your choice to not use traditional oral history formatting for your interviews to make the experience more accessible. The interviews you managed to collect were incredibly important and I’m very happy to have them on the NHM website – you did such a good job tracing people with connections to Newham who then shared very personal memories with you."

"We wanted a video of our members talking about their experience, but they were nervous about appearing on camera. That completely disappeared thanks to Ana's ability to make them feel at ease, and they could talk freely. When we received the finished film the response was universally positive about the professional quality and impact of the film. We would have no hesitations about doing more work with Cameye Arts."

"I was happy to be asked to contribute, on behalf of Gemma (the group for integration of disabled and able-bodied lesbians) to the CAMEYE archive, because I think it’s important that the work and struggles of LGBT groups in the 20th century should be recorded and remembered. In this time of relative freedom, it is easy to forget that things were not always like this, and that there was very real persecution and injustice against LGBT people within living memory. Remembrance and knowledge of those times will help to prevent such things happening again. Ana de Matos is an excellent communicator and made me feel at ease recollecting the past. Historians of the future will be grateful for this archive."

"It was fantastic to work with Ana and the team at Cameye Arts during Pride 2024! Myself and colleagues at Mind had an amazing time on the Queer Stratford History Tour and everyone was so knowledgeable and friendly. It was really affirming to learn about all the LGBTQ+ history surrounding us in such a fun and inclusive way. Thank you so much!"
