LTAA London Design Festival Guided Tour - Memories in Motion by The SIM Project @ the V&A Museum

20 September 2024

LTAA is thrilled to announce its first exclusive guided tour in collaboration with The SIM Project. Led by artist Liz Hingley, the project is grounded in collaboration and supported by a multidisciplinary team. The SIM Project gives material meaning to people’s virtual networks and creates new ways to share stories of migration.

The SIM Project combines the histories of photography and jewellery to materialise and value personal digital archives. It focuses on the SIM card, as an international ID card and a key tool for intimate connection that unlocks ‘smartphone suitcases’, to provide a portable sense of belonging. 

The exhibition which features more than a thousand miniature glass plate photographs launches at the V&A South Kensington on 13 September 2024 Friday. The launch also involves a demonstration of the project's custom-developed 3D-printed camera and portable darkroom to make miniature glass plates. The launch and demonstration are open to the public and will be held at the library from 6 pm to 9 pm.

The guided tour is exclusive to LTAA members and will be hosted by the LTAA Communication Director & The SIM Project Team member Dr. Egemen Kizilcan on 20 September 2024 Friday at 7 pm.

More information about the exhibit can be found at the V&A Museum Website. Part of London Design Festival and Digital Design Weekend at the V&A.
