Where There is Light
Gloucester Cathedral is currently hosting an immersive artwork to recognise Gloucestershire refugees throughout history.
The exhibition titled "Where There is Light" marks the culmination of events celebrating 20 years of Gloucestershire Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers (GARAS) and features artwork by Gloucestershire based digital arts group, Squidsoup.
Working in partnership with the Everyman Theatre, The Music Works and Gloucester Cathedral, the exhibition provides a poignant, immersive sensory experience to visitors. It aims to raise awareness of the crucial work GARAS does to support asylum seekers and refugees across the county.
A specially designed soundscape created by the Everyman Writers Lab, The Music Works and Squidsoup accompanies the exhibit giving an audio narrative featuring stories of people from various countries who are now living in Gloucester and who have used the services that GARAS offers.
Visitors to "Where There is Light" will see the Lady Chapel transformed into an environment where virtual and physical worlds coincide. Visitors become part of the artwork as the light and sound changes around them.
