SUMMARY:Our Digital Afterlives at ESRC Festival of Social Science
DESCRIPTION:Free Event as part of ESRC Festival of Social Science \n\n\n\n is an immersive performance and research project about technology\, memory and mourning\, which asks what’s good and what’s not-so-good about the ways that technology is changing our ritual lives. This project has involved collaboration with researchers from Manchester Metropolitan University who are working with Big Telly Theatre Company to understand more about what people think about the issues that Granny Jackson’s Dead raises e.g. how can grief technology (‘grief tech’) help us to remember someone after they die? What are the real-world implications of this technology? And finally how can immersive theatre help us to ask these questions?. \n\n\n\nResponding to the festival theme ‘Our Digital Lives’\, this event will allow us to showcase our research so far into ‘Our Digital Afterlives’. We will show video and photos from the immersive performance\, as well as an excerpt from the show and a Q&A with the creative team. You will also be invited to experience some of the new technology used in the show and contribute to our ongoing survey about ‘grief tech’. The project is supported by the Centre for Cultural Value as part of its Collaborate Scheme and will tour the UK in 2024/25. \n\n\n\nThis project involves Big Telly Theatre Company in Northern Ireland working in collaboration with colleagues from the Department of Art and Performance and the School of Digital Art at Manchester Metropolitan University. This event is led by the Performance Research Group based at Manchester School of Art. The Performance Research Group nourishes world-leading\, industry-focused and interdisciplinary work in the field of performance. They build practices\, structures and projects that bring performance artists and researchers into productive dialogue with each other.

Between the 1970s and 80s hundreds of interviews with working class people were undertaken\, many of them born in the late nineteenth century\, detailing their lives and their experiences working in Manchester’s now lost industries. This remarkable piece of research would develop into what is now known as the Manchester Studies Oral History Collection. This panel brings together those who worked on the creation of the archive\, have used it\, and who now care for it\, in order to stimulate new conversations and research directions around this remarkable resource. We will also be providing a workshop by current oral history practitioners on best practice in oral history research. \n\n\n\n2.00pm – 3.00pm – Session Three: Paranormal Manchester : \n\n\n\nPresented by DⱯRK Research Group \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n• Ian Waring (Flecky Bennett ghost tour guide) \n\n\n\n•Mark P Henderson (Professional storyteller and folklore expert) \n\n\n\n• Dr. Morag Rose (Psychogeographer and expert on strange Manchester) \n\n\n\n• Emily Oldfield (Poet and writer) \n\n\n\n•Hannah Singleton (Lecturer in the Department of Art and Performance) \n\n\n\nGhosts\, earth mysteries\, UFOs\, cryptids\, occult energies\, and their kin are\, by definition\, intangible – absent presences that cannot always be fully known\, touched\, and rationally explained. Evidence\, where it exists\, is often elusive and indefinable\, and always contested.  Manchester’s strange heritage encompasses many strands of the paranormal from hauntings to occult practitioners\, hairy cryptids to canal monsters. This session seeks to explore these phenomena and allow members of the public to experience this hidden and strange side to Manchester. \n\n\n\n3.45pm – 5.15pm – Session Four: Intangible Heritage in Place \n\n\n\nPresented by the Dr Johnathan Djabarouti of the Heritage Impact Network (HIN) \n\n\n\n\nBernadette Bone\, Conservation Architect and Tutor at the Manchester School of Architecture\, Owner BB Heritage Studio\n\n\n\nJenna Johnston\, Senior Heritage Consultant\, Buttress\n\n\n\nKatie Wray\, Director\, Deloitte\n\n\n\n\nThe Manchester School of Architecture’s Dr Johnathan Djabarouti will host a ‘Long Table’ panel of invited industry guests and members of the newly created Heritage Impact Network (HIN)\, with encouragement for public participation from the audience. \n\n\n\nThe newly formed ‘Heritage Impact Network’ at Manchester Met brings together contemporary heritage researchers who have a specific interest in understanding ephemeral\, intangible\, social\, and non-physical manifestations of heritage and culture. At this Long Table event the network’s interests will respond to the UK’s recent ratification of the UNESCO (2003) Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage\, by shifting their attention to historic places. How do immaterial manifestations of culture – such as cultural practices\, storytelling\, memories\, rituals\, and events – relate to physical heritage buildings\, sites\, and places? Experienced industry heritage practitioners from various disciplinary perspectives and heritage remits will join network members\, along with empty chairs at the table for audience participation in the conversation. \n\n\n\n7.00pm – 10.30 pm Evening Event DⱯRK MASS –  \n\n\n\nAt HOME\, Events Space\,  2 Tony Wilson Pl\, Manchester M15 4FN – Separate Booking page \n\n\n\nFollowing the day sessions at MMU\, please join us in the events space at HOME for an evening of performance linked to our themes. \n\n\n\nPresented by the DⱯRK Research Group and the Music and Sonic Studies Research group (MASS) at Manchester Metropolitan University \n\n\n\nThis evening performance will showcase the soundscapes and research-influenced music being created by PhD students and staff. \n\n\n\nFeaturing: \n\n\n\nKatie Chatburn: ‘The Shape of Sounds’.
