Only a few more chances to see Echoes From the Edge

We’re over half way through the exhibition now, the response has been amazing.  Last week we had a group of women, many of them asian, performing an Irish jig in one of the installations.  We’ve always enjoyed making art you can dance to, rather than treat reverentially.  There are fewer chances every day to book yourself onto a tour, so don’t prevaricate, book today, before it is too late!

post show dialogue in action

The after show conversations have been omniportant in the show, the ‘alchemy’ of each group of visitors have meant we’ve been having extremely wide-ranging conversations.  Topics have included: young people’s rites of passage, past and present, treatment of the Irish community after the pub bombings having similarities with Muslim communities post 11/9 and 7/7, pubs as social centres and their alternatives and, again and again, how to engender a sense of community and how to learn from the past, without forgetting it.

Some audience comments: ‘The show has expanded my view of what art can be’ – ‘I’ve never felt so comfortable at an art show’ – ‘amazingly well-presented and organised – and fun too!’.  for an independent review of the show, see Nicky Getgood’s review here.

So don’t delay, book today, while you still can.

See you at the Edge.
