A Multimedia Exploration of the Story of Vulcan, Blending Film, Poetry, Sound, Music, Art and Science
Under the banner of Cradle of Fire, the team is working with Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield, and the Land of Iron Museum in Tees Valley, with a view to potential touring. We plan to activate the cultural heritage of northern steelmaking to include geology, poetry, heritage, myth & climate change.
The core creative team includes a composer, poet, art director and a multimedia artist. We seek to develop and present ‘new hybrids’ as performative film, workshops and talks to build audience relationships and share museum collections.
The Cradle of Fire film trailer offers a visual/sonic flavour of our multimedia approach to the theme.
We intend to attract new audiences to those traditionally associated with museums and heritage collections. To do this, we are using contemporary formats and delivery.
