University student projects at the museum
These collaborations allow students to use our collections and stories as the catalyst for imaginative creative responses.
In succession
This 2016 digital art installation was created by Hazel Brill, a MFA Fine Art Media student at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL. Responding to the Fire! Fire! exhibition, it focuses on the state of limbo between the aftermath of the Great Fire and the city’s rebuilding.
Animating Thomas Becket
BA (Hons) Animation students from London Metropolitan University responded to a live brief to tell the story of this important collection of pilgrim badges. They created a 3D Zoetrope, bringing these objects to life.
Drawing on the collection
Sam Bushaway from the University for the Creative Arts carried out her BA (Hons) Illustration documentary project at the museum. She collaged her sketches together to disrupt chronology and to showcase her love of the humble pot.
Pitch-perfect performance
Inspired by Charles Booth’s Descriptive Map of London Poverty (1889), in May 2016, students studying the BA in Performance and Creative Enterprise at the Guildhall School performed live in the People’s City gallery, using sound, text and film to reflect on maps past and present.
