David and Rob jumped at the challenge to support the team at Coventry University in delivering the speedy design of a media backdrop and badges for the launch of the Gallery of Living History.

In a last minute turnaround, Glued got stuck into designing the media backdrop for the launch event as well as the engaging badges for the local school children who were launching the new initiative.
The Gallery of Living History – or GoLH – is the brainchild of actor, director, producer, and performance artist Andy Serkis and producer Jonathan Cavendish in collaboration with philanthropist and Coventry University Chancellor Margaret Casely Hayford CBE and artistic director Jude Tyrrell. It is a non-profit organisation that seeks to explore and debate the notion of history, memory, and culture through research and content creation. It has its roots within the ongoing national conversation about history and the relationship between our past and our present, thrown up by events like the death of George Floyd and the furore around contested statutory. It aims to develop initiatives that talk to these themes through the creation of different media experiences across audio, video, augmented and virtual reality, live performance and more.
Coventry University says: “The launch of the GoLH was a fantastic event and we’re very grateful for the timely help from the team at Glued. We hope that the Gallery brings many years of exploration and debate to a wide audience.”
