The pop-up exhibition, Bankside-on-Call will offer a unique insight into the gritty underbelly of Bankside. A newly commissioned work by the sound artist Bruce Gilbert, titled Time Interior will respond to the urban context, alongside recordings of tales of growing up in the area by residents and small business owners, acoustically documenting the processes of change rapidly being experienced in the area.

An on-site Vox Pop will provide the chance for visitors to drop by and leave their recordings of memories, experiences or desires for the future of the area, take home a souvenir and drink tea in the pop-up parlour. The project will become a form of social investigation facilitating the opportunity to add to the archive of memories, thoughts, and prophesies about the area, it’s past and future.

The exhibition space will be decked out with unique souvenirs, which take their cue from the quieter unsung elements of Bankside.

This is part of Better Bankside’s long term plan to bring a pop up space to the area to show creative uses of spaces and animate Bankside.
