An international art exhibition that has included groups in the Netherlands and Germany is coming to Hadrian's Wall for the final month of the 1900 Festival.
Frontier Voices is a wall-wide project that has involved many of the attractions across Hadrian's Wall in North Tyneside, Northumberland and Cumbria; including Corbridge Roman Town, Vindolanda and Segedunum. It coincides with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, which will see various celebrations along the wall throughout December.
Over the last seven months, Cumbrian artist Karen McDougall has worked with local community groups, schools, museum visitors, international partners and museum staff to create artworks exploring perceptions of Hadrian's Wall and the surrounding landscapes. Artworks include poetry, banners, embossed metal foil art, installations and felted vessels, all of which have been brought together expressing how participants feel and think about themselves as Frontier Voices and what the Wall means to them, and displayed at The Sill in Northumberland National Park.
