This year, as part of Right Up Our Street’s 10th Anniversary, they are delivering festival activity across two venues – St. George’s Minster and Doncaster’s Corn Exchange.
St. George’s Minster will host French Artist Guillaume Marmin’s 1.3 Seconds. This will be the first time the artwork has been presented in the UK.
This light installation by Guillaume Marmin gets its name from the time it takes for light to travel from the earth to the moon at a velocity of 300 000km/s.
The light work will highlight the church’s columns, stained glass windows and overall gothic style, giving our audiences glimpses of architectural details as lights flash and illuminate the grand space of the Minster.
This year, for the second venue, Right Up Our Street have commissioned Greenaway & Greenaway to create an artwork that will be projected on to the impressive and historic facade of Doncaster’s Corn Exchange. This piece (WE RISE) tells the story of Doncaster, inspired and informed by conversations with our community.
The projection features spoken word created by poet Toria Garbutt and the Doncaster based collective GSD. The work will be a fitting celebration of our new City status.
Sponsored by Dickinson Wood Solicitors, Friday (from 5:30pm) and Saturday & Sunday (from 4:30pm) we will have crafting with Karen Hall, where you will have the opportunity to contribute to a growing display of stars over the weekend in the Wool Market.
Alongside Karen Hall, we also have Print Imperials – a local Printmaker from Doncaster. The team will be running free printing workshops for you to create and take home with you.
Right Up Our Street are so excited to welcome you back for their Fourth DN Festival of Light.
