Made in Hull:
Arrivals & Departures
“This place is built on working hands
Washed here by the sea…”
Imitating the dog’s work for Hull 2017 put a poetic spin on the history of arrivals in and departures from the city. The piece looked at the history of migration from a contemporary perspective, exploring the journeys which have gathered a population and moulded a landscape.
Using The Deep as both canvas and building blocks the piece pulled together some of the strands of the complex and universal issues of migration as a wider subject matter.
Created as part of the Made in Hull opening celebrations for Hull City of Culture 2017.
