Is it right to give any attention to the perpetrators of the Holocaust? Is it helpful to understand what makes a perpetrator?
Artists at three European sites have created work that engages with “perpetrator spaces” at these camps. After experiencing these exhibitions, audiences are invited to explore the themes raised through Let’s Discuss. A chatbot guides them through some of the questions at the heart of this project.
In this Lunchtime Talk, Lucy Telling from Stand + Stare presents the project and talks about some of the challenges of creating a chatbot that is sensitive to this difficult subject, the artists’ work and the Memorials’ approaches. She will explain why they chose to create a chatbot and why it works for their target audiences. She will also discuss Stand + Stare’s approach and why they included creative activities as part of the chatbot experience.
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.
