The Theatre Jukebox is a platform for telling stories. It
particularly challenges the way we interact with archives and is a new way to
attach digital stories and a more intimate value to the physical collections
from our archive.
It is installed in the waiting room of Battersea Arts
Centre, the permanent space that houses temporary exhibitions curated from our
archive collections, providing an intimate experience through the artistic
concept of linking the stories of the old Battersea Town Hall and Battersea
Arts Centre together.
You are invited to choose from a selection of 6 cards. Each
one plays a short, self-contained snapshot from our rich history, but if you
continue, connections between the cards build a bigger picture.
The audio stories are brought to life through projections
mapped to the images. The resulting experience is fragmented, non-linear and
pieced together by you. It is like snippets of memory or flicking through a
photo album, each picture sparking images, associations, snatches of conversations
and ideas.
The Theatre Jukebox has been created by Stand + Stare Collective, supported by Heritage Lottery Fund, Wandsworth Borough Council, and the Arts Council England, in partnership with Wandsworth Heritage Service.
