MEMORY is the natural successor to SLAM THE BODY POLITIK, SGC's first multimedia poetry project. There is still a strong social consciousness at work in MEMORY but its expression has a more personal flavour.

From birth we are influenced by mass media, commercialisation, and the imagery of greed and violence. They seek to colonise our very memories through a sickly commercialised nostalgia! MEMORY aims not just to metaphorically scrawl on the walls of the system but to break through them with individual creative expressions of WHO WE ARE in the collective medium of a DVD anthology.

Our ART is an expression of ourselves. It is how we try to connect with the world. We understand ourselves and our own life histories through our composite memories.We seek video poetry that reflects the place of MEMORY in the construction/reconstruction of our personal and collective histories. We are interested in works that correspond with broader social movements and compare/contrast with official accounts of these, but also works that explore the links between memory and identity and memory and place.
