As part of the De La Warr Pavilion's 90th anniversary in December 2025, commissioned artist Mary Hooper developed a new work that captured the voices of people who wanted to share their memories of the Pavilion.
Hooper recorded these spontaneous and unrehearsed conversations with staff, volunteers and visitors. Together they offer a collective portrait of the Pavilion as a lived space, shaped as much by personal histories and everyday encounters as by its architectural and cultural significance.
The resulting sound work brings together edited excerpts from these recordings into an 18-minute-long track. Layered with subtle soundscapes, the piece reflects on memory, place, and belonging, foregrounding the depth of connection and affection held for the Pavilion across generations.
You can hear this track on the North Staircase, second floor, where there will be seating available and access via the lift.
