Curious Curators was founded in 2016. Our first commissioned project was based in London’s Bankside. This resulted first in an exhibition at the OXO Gallery on London’s South Bank called Bankside’s Past In The Present. This on-going project continues to explore the industrial history of Bankside, the latest being a play about the Albion Flour Mill called “Albion in Flames“. Other projects include “That’ll Be The Day – a boyhood remembered”, and “Cavendish Histories; making childhood memories“, both based in Hull, Yorkshire plus explorations in Berlin, Germany and Sydney, Australia.
