Audience perspective
The space that binds us is a collection of visual art installations and performances, that explores the historical aspects of the town during an Arts festival.Each site specific art installation uses memory, archive materials and cultural reference as part of their armature. The artists response inhabits these spaces as a form of enquiry and activation; through sculpture, live art, humour and pop culture,the potentially endless history of our connectedness is explored. Witness your community and visitors come together to share a new common ground as it unfolds within your local iconic structure.
Presenter perspective
