Sheffield Cathedral

It brings us great pleasure that Sheffield Cathedral will be one of five venues to host the DWYS exhibition. Several of our commissioned artworks will be on show in the Cathedral's Shrewsbury Chapel. Through a dynamic combination of physical display and audio installation, we bring together pieces that spark critical conversations on the connection between faith, power and memorialisation.
