Announcing: Call My Name, Call Me Home
30th September 2026
We are delighted to reveal a new, exciting collaboration for spring 2027, as we’re partnering up with the Elizabeth Gaskell House to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Manchester’s designation as UNESCO City of Literature.
Bricks & Paper: A Story in Light is an immersive projection experience that will envelope both the exterior of the Grade II listed house and bring history to life inside its walls too.
On the evenings of Friday 12 and Saturday 13 March 2027, the façade of Elizabeth’s home will tell the author’s own remarkable story.
The interior installation, meanwhile, will last until 31 October 2027, transforming the rooms through art projections and storybook animations. As visitors explore the old hallways, Gaskell’s words inspire manuscripts and illustrations to awaken around them, creating moments of magical delight as scenes from the author’s influential work spring forth.
It’s an opportunity to celebrate Manchester’s rich literary heritage, through one of its most eminent writers and one of the city’s most important literary landmarks.
It’s a privilege to be collaborating with Manchester City of Literature on this project, particularly as both a north-west based company and as artists who take great inspiration and delight in exploring classic literature in invigorating and unique ways.
Bricks & Paper: A Story in Light is supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
