In partnership with York Music Venue Network, the University of York and StreetLife, Dr Jenn Chubb, Lecturer in the Department of Sociology has been involved in curating:
‘Archive All Areas - People, Places, Music & Memories’ - an interactive and growing exhibition celebrating music in the city, the people and places within it, and the memories and artefacts we associate with them.
Music venues are the home to our memories, creative hubs and community centres that enable and enrich our lives daily, yet they are often viewed with less importance than other cultural spaces. From the Rialto to Fibbers, the Willow and hundreds more, they have come and gone but their impact upon us lives on in our memories and ephemera.
This exhibition celebrates the region's current and historic venues, the artists, organisers and audiences that use them, and questions how and why we remember them.
Jenn's research 'AI, What's that Sound?' forms part of this exciting exhibition where she questions public attitudes towards AI in music-making and the future of gig-going.
The exhibition runs Saturday 18th March 2023 - Thursday 20th April 2023, 29-31 Coney Street @StreetLifeYork
