Earlier this year, Durham Cathedral announced a programme of three contemporary art and digital experiences for the upcoming Magna Carta and the North exhibition, and now we need your help to create one of the bespoke installations.
Contemporary artist Nicola Anthony invites you to help shape The words that bind us, a luminous light artwork forming part of the Magna Carta and the North exhibition. Your thoughts will become part of a flowing river of words projected inside the Cathedral, where you can walk through a ripple of text that continually reshapes itself. The luminous text will describe a vision for a fairer, more compassionate future, written collaboratively with the public.
See the Magna Cartas this summer
From 11 July, three rare Magna Cartas from the cathedral’s collection will go on display in Durham Cathedral Museum to mark the 800th anniversary of this 1225 issue.
