Reunion Programme
Memory sharing (optional): You’re warmly encouraged to bring along photos, objects or memorabilia, which tells a story about what Sussex was like to you in the 90s.
Welcome: Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sasha Roseneil will open the event over coffee.
Talk: Join us for an interactive, hands-on discussion that invites you to revisit your 90s memories at Sussex through the lens of rave. Find out more information below under 'Sussex in the 90s Discussion' - a fun interactive session whether you were ravers or not.
Lunch: A hot lunch will be provided with a variety of options for all. You will also have an opportunity to hear the 90s top of the pops and contribute photos to our 90s memory timeline.
Campus tour: Led by our current students, see how the campus has evolved over the years, exploring both familiar spots and exciting new developments.
Reunion Photo: Group photo on Library Square. You will receive a digital copy after the event.
Social time: Reminisce with friends, old and new in Falmer Bar.
Our day programme will end at 4.30pm after the reunion photo, but you are welcome to stay longer to continue the fun at Falmer Bar!
Sussex in the 90s Discussion
Researchers and students from the Faculty of Media, Arts and Humanities at the University of Sussex have teamed up with the Museum of Youth Culture to create the 'Post-Rave Britain' Archive, an evolving blend of historical investigation, memory bank, and collective storytelling. Together, they’re uncovering the history of the 1990s and beyond, inspired by (but not restricted to) UK rave culture through personal photos, flyers, and lived experiences.
As part of the reunion programme, they will share your memories at Sussex in the 90s, through a psychedelic combination of interactive presentations, audience participation and audio-visual silliness. They will explore memories, moments and experiences that shaped the decade! Imagine the Antiques Road Show meeting a saucer-eyed Tony Blair in the Hacienda carpark for a performance art seminar and you’re half-way there. Cut-and-paste, upside-down, do-it-together: history making as post-rave culture!
We would love to hear about your memories, see your photos, objects or memorabilia, whether they are through the lens of rave or simply just of your time at Sussex in the 90s! Feel free to share your memories.
Who will be there?
Upon booking you will be given the option to consent to be added to the list of attendees which will be shared with other alumni. You will be able to view this here once it is live.
Overnight accommodation
If you live outside Brighton, why not make a weekend out of it? We provide a discounted rate on a range of hotels which you can find by clicking here.
We look forward to welcoming you back to campus for a memorable event. Whether you’re reminiscing about the past or discovering what’s new, it’s sure to be a day to remember!
