What memories do you have of this place?

Before we moved from Dundee to Bristol in the Autumn of 2023, I asked my daughter Poppy to take me to some of her favourite places where we lived. I asked her about how these places made her feel, what they made her think of and significant memories she attached to them. We documented our intergenerational father-daughter conversations through audio recordings and 3D scans of these sites.

Developed by artist-researcher Harry Robert Wilson in collaboration with his 7-year-old daughter Poppy, Placing Spaces uses 3D scanning and audio recorded conversations to install a series of geo-located Augmented Reality encounters at various outdoor locations. Part treasure hunt and part site-specific performance for one, Placing Spaces explores transitions and the layering of space, belonging and memory through the lens of one father-daughter relationship.

In this workshop Harry and Poppy will share the process of making the work with other children and their parents/carers with a view to developing it for a new context in Bristol.

Tickets can be found here. There are limited space (5 children/5 adult) so if you are interested in attending, please secure a ticket promptly. 1 ticket = 1 adult and 1 child.
