Alejandro Acín and Isaac Blease, project producers of Alone with Empire said: “ Our role with the help of a project team, was to facilitate public access and participation with this important collection, and through doing so we aimed to form a critical space in which visitors could question and reflect upon the murky history of the British Empire. Now we hope that the generated films can continue discussions about how we engage with our collective history and especially the legacies of the British Empire.”

Functioning as a Counter Archive, this website contains the resulting Generated film sequences, catalogued emotional responses, curated soundscape, and further contextual information. All the films showcased here have been licensed through the creative commons act, please enquire directly about usage to: info@icvl.co.uk

This project was produced by IC Visual Lab in collaboration with Bristol Archives, and is supported by the Arts Council of England, and Heritage Lottery Fund.
