“SPIRITS OF PLACE 2024
As part of Material Matters Artists Collective and Co-operative‘s five-month INTO THE WYLDE residency at the Williamson Art Gallery & Museum Birkenhead, SPIRITS OF PLACE is an exciting one-day programme of talks and presentations.
Exploring the connections between the region and the medieval poem Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, SPIRITS OF PLACE brings together a wide range of guest speakers across the fields of academia, literature, art and archaeology, following an acclaimed first symposium, held in Liverpool in 2016.
Stories are embedded in the world around us; in metal, in brick, in concrete, in wood, and in the very earth beneath our feet. Our history surrounds us, and the tales we tell – true or otherwise – are always rooted in what has gone before. The ‘spirits of place’ are the echoes of people, of events, and of ideas which have become imprinted upon a location.
SPIRITS OF PLACE’s speakers will delve deep into the incredibly rich folklore and history of the Gawain poet’s ‘wyldrenesse of Wyrale’, the North West, and beyond.”
