Description

Spoken Memories is a UWE-funded research project led by Professor Shawn Sobers and Associate Professor Estella Tincknell. It is linked to Bristol’s History Commission, which was set up by Mayor Marvin Rees in response to the events and debates surrounding the Colston toppling.

The commission is tasked with ensuring all of Bristol’s citizens feel their experiences and narratives are recognised in the stories the city tells about itself. 

The exhibition is open to the public for viewing during library opening times. Audios of the spoken memories will be available to access via QR codes at the exhibition, so please bring a smartphone and headphones to listen to them there. They will also be available on the Know Your Place website during and after the exhibition.
