The opening of ‘Damascus Road’ was wonderful. The sound-piece made up of stories contributed to Mary for the project was so moving. And it was also moving to see people attending to what was being said and investing time in taking in the installation. People spent hours moving around the spaces following the stories. From the point of view of St George’s Arts it fulfilled so many of our overall aims in that not only was interesting contemporary art brought to a local audience but also the building itself was brought to people’s attention as they moved through different spaces listening to personal accounts.
I’ll post up some more photos in the next few days but would urge anyone who can to visit the installation in person.
