For Memory Bar ‘25 we’re asking you to share a little bit of who you are. Lead Artist Thomas Buckley has been collecting memories for the last 6 years, inspired by moments of humanity, often finding the everyday to be totally magical when explored enough.
You’re invited to borrow us a memory, to be explored and interpreted and transformed into a unique drink for public enjoyment as part of Memory Bar this November.
In 20 minute slots, you’ll be able to sit down with Thomas and either share a story that’s precious and meaningful to you, or just chat together about where you’ve been and what you’ve seen and what it might be like to share that.
This might be the story of that trip you took, the allotment you spend your mornings at, your first kiss, the bus journey to the hospital. That time you ate ice cream in the rain and laughed. Big or small, all memories are gratefully borrowed.
Although not every memory shared can be used in the final artwork we’ll keep in touch each step and let you know if yours is worked into something drinkable.
In recording the memories we will:
-take your photo
-record a video
-record your voice
-take photos of any objects you bring
But the experience will just feel like a chat.
Please arrive at the SA Community Cafe on Minden Street at your booked time. The venue door is opposite the Minden Street Car Parking entrance and this map will also help you find us: https://w3w.co/envelope.suitcase.pink
