Last chance to see sarah filmer's knit the walls

Posted: 01/12/2022

This weekend is your last chance to visit sarah filmer’s fantastic knit the walls final exhibition at God’s House Tower.

Having first launched in 2016, ’knit the walls’ is a public art co-creation project involving many of Southampton’s residents and visitors in the co-production of a knitted, woollen version of the city’s medieval walls. Led by artist Sarah Filmer, the project invites participants and audiences to reconnect with stories, memories and alternative histories that are lost over time and unrecorded in books and archives, through creative practice.

This weekend the exhibition comes to an end, and it’s your final opportunity to explore an immersive collection of community created works. From a mesmerising knitted room installation in the Main Gallery to a series of short films by filmmaker Imogen Dunlop and a photo reel of memories captured over the years screened in the Project Space, don’t miss your chance to visit the exhibition and learn more about this well-loved community project.

Knit the walls is free to visit and on display at GHT until Sunday 4th December. Plan your visit here
