AN INVISIBLE GUEST PODCAST SERIES
An Invisible Guest: Mapping Relations, Voices and Agencies has a curated podcast series which navigates through the themes of the Oral History Archive at Museum & Study Collection, at Central Saint Martins.
Approaching the project as an ‘incomplete’ and ‘ongoing’ exploration of the archive, the curatorial process extends to continue the tradition of conducting oral histories. This is done in the format of a podcast, created with and for the audience that it addresses. The new narratives and dialogues will be constructed on themes such as Friendship, Education, Artistic Practice, Mentorship, and Social Justice.
The podcast series can be found on Ximalaja, Spotify and Soundcloud.
Archive clips courtesy of the Museum & Study Collection at Central Saint Martins.
Theme tune by Hannah Kane.

ORAL HISTORIES TOOLKIT
The toolkit is a part of interacting with the audience and bringing the oral histories archive to the audiences. As a ‘toolkit’ it involves the viewer/listener to step into the project and take an active role within it or outside of it. This is to allow a feeling of open-endedness to the project, to allow others explore and come up with their own ideas and thoughts. As a time capsule project, the toolkit will hopefully inspire like-minded people to engage with archives themselves and to value and learn from the project.
