What’s the background?
Science Gallery London is King’s College’s flagship public facility connecting art, science and health. After closing during the pandemic, the Gallery reopened in mid 2022 with a new director in post. Their aim is to be more than a gallery – to be a ‘partner and catalyst to drive innovation, interdisciplinary, inclusion and participation’, providing a hub to bring together communities, a live lab for experimentation and co-creation, and a gallery that explores current issues through cross-disciplinary collaboration.
What did we do?
Storythings worked with the Science Gallery London team to help them come up with a strategy to build constituencies, particularly the local youth communities they wanted to engage with, and make the change they wanted to with those constituencies. We helped them develop a brand story, and tested and iterated formats that could be an intrinsic part of their programme that developed and grew these constituencies over time.
