Project Profile
- Down at the Bamboo Club
- Bristol, England, United Kingdom
- Down at the Bamboo Club an ambitious programme of activity exploring aspects of Bristol's social and political histories using devices such as irony, oration and filmic re-creation. Co-ordinated by Picture This and with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Bristol Visual Arts Consortium, the project uses re-enactments to enable participants to explore subjects such as community relations, the legacy of slave trading on the city's economy and communities, histories of division and solidarity, and the heritage of their own roles in the city today. Through Down at the Bamboo Club Picture This will work with invited artists:Barby Asante, Mark Wilsher and Mandy McIntosh to devise and deliver participatory projects involving moving image and re-enactment through participatory workshops and other community events. Re-enactments offer sensitive ways to link to diverse communities and gain newly produced material. Re-enactment is a means of expression that has sympathies with oral traditions of storytelling. It has the potential to reconcile the dynamics of contemporary and historical perspectives of slavery and to respond to the specific site, place and context of Bristol.

Hi! What a great project!
My name is Mike Bradley. I'm doing some research for the new Museum of Bristol, due to open down on the harbourside in 2011. The new Museum will be more focussed on people's own stories, their memories of what makes Bristol what it is.
I'm trying to get in touch with people who remember going to see a big gig at the Bamboo Club - maybe Bob Marley, Wilson Pickett, Gregory Isaacs, Dewsmond Decker and so on. I'd love to hear their memories of what it was like to see their idol at the club.
The Museum's work will compliment the great work you're doing on this project, and continue to show the people of Bristol how important the Bamboo Club was to the history - and the future - the of the city.
If anyone reading this remembers being at such a gig and would like their story to be part of the new museum, they can contact me at mike-bradley@live.co.uk and I'll get in touch.
Thanks,
Mike
