Echoes From the Aviary installation at Tyntesfield National Trust
Echoes From the Aviary project at Tyntesfield National Trust used collage workshops, sound and installation work to reimagine Tyntesfield’s Victorian aviary and tell the story of Tyntesfield’s historical connection to birds.
Commissioned by Tyntesfield National Trust, this collaborative installation responded to the history of the estate's Victorian aviary through sound, collage and public participation. It also explored the building’s connections to the South American guano trade, colonial extraction, migration and the legacy of environmental damage guano mining caused to the Peruvian coast. Developed alongside a group young people from the community group, Heart of BS13 and sound artist Jono Gilmurray, the project combined archival research with creative workshops to explore the connections between empire, ecology and place.
