30 YEARS of the BRANSCOMBE PROJECT

WHERE MEMORY MEETS HISTORY

EXHIBITION

The Project has been going for thirty years and we want to celebrate!  We hope you’ll enjoy this retrospective show.  There’ll be excerpts from some of the more memorable exhibitions and reminders of all the talks, walks, drama docs and books that have taken place over the years.  There’ll even be a new special souvenir book.

In the social room there’ll be a viewing of the Napoli CD, the Favourite Places map (with an invitation for you to add your own favourite places), the Talking Head video, Flickr photos, and the Fixed Point video showing how the landscape has changed over the years.

The Fixed Point video will be on view from 10 to 12 am on both Saturday and Sunday, the Favourite Places from 12 – 2, the Talking Heads from 2 – 4. Flickr photos and the Napoli CD will be on show the whole time.

And, of course, there will be cream teas (from 2.30 to 4.30)

This may be the last Project exhibition.  Perhaps you would like to see what we’ve been doing over the last thirty years.  Or, if you’re a regular attendee, you might like a trip down memory lane.
