CARGO Movement
Lunchtime Talks
Please note: This event ended on 28 October 2022
In this lunchtime talk Studio Resident Lawrence Hoo will reflect on the incredible journey of CARGO (Charting African Resilience Generating Opportunities), a global phenomenon, encompassing immersive installations, a brand new curriculum for schools, an AR app that allows people to put their own virtual statues on Bristol's empty Colston plinth, a series of films and now it’s own creative studio space.
Originating in the Pervasive Media Studio as a book of poetry by Hoo himself, and evolving over the years under the expertise of Creative Director and Co-founder Charles Golding, CARGO has grown, flourished and exploded into what we see today - an empowerment narrative covering the last 500 years of Bristol and Africa’s diasporas and shared history and legacy.
Open Studio Fridays
From 10:00 - 17:00 you can stay at the Studio for Open Studio Fridays - join us to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. The Studio provides chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Tell us what you’re up to, or allow us to facilitate conversations within the resident community. Studio staff and residents will be around to chat, answer questions, or tell you more about what we do. The open afternoons close at 17:00, sometimes with a trip to the Café & Bar.
Where to find us
The Lunchtime Talks take place in the Pervasive Media Studio, which is in the Watershed building. The Studio is just beyond the Café & Bar, turn right and then go down the corridor to your left (where the toilets are). The double doors here will be open, go all the way down until you reach the Studio. A member of staff will sign you in, and check your ticket, if you have booked.
