Writing Skyscapes – A Virtual Exhibition

Event on for the duration of NAM in our expo area

Look at the stars! look up, look up at the skies! - Gerald Manley Hopkins, 'The Starlight Night'.

Writing Skyscapes is a virtual exhibition of words, images, drawing and videos inspired by the sky and inviting you to 'look at the skies!'

When we look up at the sky, especially with today's technologies and devices, we might assume that we are able to see more, to see more clearly, or to see further. While this is true in some senses, the more we look at or to the sky, the more that we find ourselves questioning both what we are seeing and where we are.

Featuring artists, writers, photographers and Hubble images, Writing Skyscapes considers these other issues relating to how we see and imagine what is above us. In many collaborations spanning now several years and countries participants explored new ways of engaging with the sky from multiple viewpoints and from both rural and urban perspectives.

Immerse yourself in this multimedia experience and even be inspired to create your own skyscape in our virtual skyscape diorama.
