The Haçienda: Threads
‘The people. The music. The fashion. The nights. The scene. These are the threads that came together to make The Haçienda the club that changed everything.’ Everyone has their own memories of iconic nights out and the world famous Haçienda has its fair share of stories to tell. Never-seen photographs and eyewitness accounts from those dancing under the lights bring The Haçienda: Threads to life; sharing the stories and memories from one of the most influential music scenes of a generation.
The venue’s lasting impact is still felt today, its histories woven into the fabric of the city. Together with Headline Book’s we installed a creative billboard that encouraged passing locals to share their own stories of the club and add their narratives into the tapestry of memories. The poster site, fittingly located across the road from the iconic nightclub’s entrance, was transformed into an old-school blackboard. From the nostalgic and wholesome to the debauched and NSFW, the billboard brought handwritten memories flooding back onto the city streets almost four decades after it first opened its doors.
