Exhibition

This event has ended.

An immersive audio-visual experience that transports us to the magnificent Yorkshire landscape, telling the unique stories of twelve extraordinary women. "I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free..." Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights In this new art installation, inspired by personal journeys and stories of discovery, renowned artist and portrait photographer Carolyn Mendelsohn celebrates the female connection to nature, examining how feeling connected to the natural world can be an inspiring and important aspect of everyday life for women. Over the course of four months, Carolyn embarked on a series of adventures to capture the personal stories of remarkable women living and working in the Bradford District; women who work on the land, women who are inspired by the land, and women for whom the landscape is a place of freedom. Using Emily Brontë’s poetry and her literary masterpiece Wuthering Heights as a springboard, this immersive installation tells twelve unique and powerful female narratives through projection, soundscapes, personal objects and a filmic collection of photographs.
