BMAP: The Materialities Montage Mixer with Gary Stewart

This participatory workshop led by artist Gary Stewart centres on the Materialities Montage Mixer, a digital tool through which participants can re-work and re-appropriate images and sound, including archival material such as sound files and photographic stills and video.As part of this open session, visitors will have the chance to collaborate with Gary and participating BMAP artists to connect their own lived experiences, community memories, and visual materials to the Birmingham Media Archive. By integrating personal reflections and opinions with historical media, the mixer facilitates a live audiovisual dialogue that explores how collective memory can be reshaped through modern digital techniques.The Materialities Montage Mixer was originally created for the landmark 2007 retrospective, The Ghosts of Songs - A Retrospective of the Black Audio Film Collective. The Birmingham Media Archive Project is delivered by Vivid Projects, funded with the support of the BFI Screen Heritage Fund, awarding National Lottery funding.
