A History of WORM in 25 Objects

It’s the nature of DIY and cultural spaces that people come and go. The name on the building stays the same but the sense of identity shifts. WORM is a place of reinvention and with constant motion, certain stories and memories fade away. This history of WORM – not the only possible history of course – captures a few of those stories. Ash Kilmartin and Mariëtte Groot put together an audio-scrapbook of the physical materials around WORM, that helps to tell the story of what this place is.

You can find all the episodes below, as and when they appear!

Note that, because the interviews were conducted in front of the objects themselves, the audio quality sometimes varies.
