Sat 16 Mar 12noon to 5pm, Sun 17 Mar 11am to 4pm and Mon 18 to 27 March normal York Explore opening times.
Through words, video, audio, music, poems and artwork, explore some of the 1000 stories collected for York Stories 2012 community project from people across York and beyond, which bring York alive.
On 16 and 17 March various rooms and spaces at York Explore will be transformed to showcase the wealth of stories submitted and collected throughout 2012 and York 800 celebrations.
Stories about York, its people and places were submitted throughout 2012 and collected through projects, workshops, training and events as part of the York Stories 2012 city wide programme involving over 50 groups, 25 artists, 50 volunteers and over 800 participants.
The exhibition created by York University student volunteers will also showcase artwork created by international artist Kane Cunningham.
The opening day of Saturday 16 March will also include the creation of a Storyweb in the children’s area for children and families and a live York Stories 2012 radio broadcast by Khaoz Media in the ICT room.
We are also asking people to bring along a small personal object which has its own story to tell which will be put inside the specially commissioned clay pot designed by artist Kane Cunningham which will be embedded into the City Walls for posterity after the exhibition.
So come along, bring your stories and an object which has a story to tell!
PLEASE NOTE: From Monday 18 to 24 March the exhibition will be restricted to York Explore foyer and main library area.
There is no age restriction and entry is free!
