Memory Dance is an (in) frequent collaborator with Sheffield Museums
Digitisation
Memory Dance has worked with Sheffield Museums in recent times on AV digitisation projects such as tape transfers for the 2023 exhibtion and installation, Threshold to the Kingdom – a film by Mark Wallinger. Which sees Wallinger play with the symbolism signalling a change in being. Slow motion footage of people arriving at London City Airport shows them delivered from the stateless limbo of international airspace to the sovereignty of UK soil and all it represents. Memory Dance has also consulted on digitisation and preservation policy.
Curation
In 2020/21 Memory Dance curated a series of titles to be screened in-gallery at the Weston Park Museum, and the new new Sheffield Stories gallery which looks at life in the city during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. “Exploring our home lives, neighbourhoods and the events and experiences we’ve lived through together, these new displays have been developed in partnership with residents in the South East of the city.”
Exhibition
In 2020/21 Memory Dance, while working on a placement at the Millenium Gallery had the experience of working alongside curators and technicians on exhibitions including Changing Lives: 200 Years of People and Protest in Sheffield, and a special installation by world revered Sheffield-based artists Universal Everything, Vehicle of Nature.
