Event Summary
Event Description
A five-week installation and public programme at the historic Cunard Building, bringing together eight years of work by artist Mark Storor made in collaboration with communities and individuals with lived and living experience of suicide across England, Ireland and Wales. Part of The Suicide Chronicles.
Over five weeks, The Suicide Chronicles will be in residence at the Cunard Building, bringing together films, photographs, sculptures, poetry and music that have emerged from this long-term shared creative process.
We invite you into an evolving space of contemplation, reflection and quiet assembly. A beautiful artistic space for what is often difficult to express, acknowledging and honouring the experiences of those we have lost.
The works reflect a wide range of experiences, including women bereaved by the suicide of their partners, farmers exploring their relationship to the land and the impact of suicide within farming communities, intergenerational perspectives, and the experiences of first responders.
Close to Home invites audiences to spend time with these works, to bear witness to each person's story, and to reflect on lives, experiences and moments shaped by both individual circumstances and the times in which they were lived.
In a world that demands constant action and reaction, Close to Home asks what it means to contemplate, to give ourselves over to time, to listen, and to make sense together.
