We finally, and sadly closed the show on Monday (after a 9-day extension and 12 extra shows). Last through exhibition were a group of local chinese residents, complete with interpreter, despite language barriers, they had a great time.
The show has been a great success, not only with audiences (wonderfully diverse and enthusiastic), but in developing this and future projects. The after show talks have allowed hundreds of residents, artists and stakeholders to discuss their thoughts, memories, hopes and fears and to begin all kinds of dialogues. The Saturday dinners have been incredible, and we will be continuing these soon with regular opportunities for people to develop the conversations further – all with delicious ‘pot luck’ food.
Echoes From The Edge will continue, so keep checking back for how you can join in as we create dialogue through art.
