The Edge of Things

Friday 17 May – Sunday 27 October

 

This is a past event which has now ended.

‘What if the contents of those shelves could speak? What languages are contained within the leather-bound pages? What voices of travellers and explorers are captured within?’

The Edge of Things is a series of multimedia installations and live projects that draw inspiration from the most significant book collection cared for by the National Trust. Looking through a contemporary lens, the artists bring to life the contents of four of the books, exploring a lost language and the edge of science, space and discovery.

A programme of events will support the art works, keep an eye on this page for details.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
