Every story, however hidden, leave TRACES… The objects we leave behind, speak fragile broken sentences to those who come across them later.
For four days in August, TRACES will take a neglected old Victorian pub and bring it back to life. Painstakingly researched, TRACES is an immersive and theatrical art and design showcase that will map and elaborate on the actual stories of the (now long-dead) inhabitants of our event’s location: The Marquis of Lansdowne.
The public are invited to come along and discover these histories for themselves; wandering through the rooms left as if only a moment before, and unpicking their secretes. Comparing notes about what’s going on over drinks. Interacting with the specially commissioned and selected art and design pieces to unravel clues about the building and its inhabitants; whilst also having the opportunity of buying their favourite ones at the end of the nights.
