Tate & Lyle has a unique archive of 300 films, dating back to the 1950s and 60s and featuring places and events all over the world, as well as in their factory on the Thames in East London. New Media Networks (NMN), an international creative company based in East London (newmedianetworks.org) and the new Birkbeck Institute for the Moving Image are collaborating on a new pilot project, ‘The World in a Cube’, to explore ways of taking part of Tate & Lyle’s unique collection of films about the sugar industry to potential audiences. Developed in partnership with Tate & Lyle Sugars, and with support from Creativeworks London, the key aim of the project is to research and develop creative opportunities for public engagement with this collection.
