AN ASSEMBLANCE OF JUDICIOUS HERETICS

... 2016: Re:imagining Shakespeare

AN ASSEMBLANCE OF JUDICIOUS HERETICS: 2016's collaborative project marked the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. 

For the third year running we teamed up writers and artists anonymously in what has fast become one of the most hotly anticipated events and exhibitions of the year. 

The project works as follows: we ask writers to write to our theme - this year we asked them to be inspired by Shakespeare - then we  anonymously give these written texts to a range of artists – and they will interpret the text in whatever medium they chose. The writing and artworks will be displayed as part of an exhibition at Rochester Library. 

 

This year 32 writers wrote texts which were interpreted by 32 artists.

​

The exhibition was shown at Rochester Library through mid-October to the end of November, with a launch event, where the writing/art collaborations were revealed on Thursday 20 October 2016.
