Infinite Museum Young People Residency (11-16 yrs)
Learn digital skills and create your own 3D objects to add to the Infinite Museum VR Experience.
Storytellers NPO and MBD invite young people aged 11-16 from East Lindsey to take part in a one-day creative residency to explore the creative opportunities involved in virtual reality (VR) storytelling.
The project launched with an initial focus on stories from Spalding, drawing on themes connected to The Spalding Gentlemen’s Society and Ayscoughfee Hall & Gardens. The first year of the project saw the creation of four short VR experiences, accessed from the museum’s virtual foyer, including a youth co-created Cabinet of Curiosities and a VR poem co-created with local artists, highlighting MBD and Story Tellers commitment to engagement with young people and local communities.
Community participation underpins the Infinite Museum project, with young people and local artists contributing to the development of new content through workshops, artist residencies, and collaborative storytelling.
Since creation, the work has been exhibited at schools, festivals, and community venues to bring the stories of Spalding to new audiences.
