Black Swan Arts, Justice Lane, and public performances

Ruth Ewan’s work explores the circulation of radical ideas within popular culture, often using the creativity of other people, from buskers to schoolchildren, to bring her ideas to life. In Frome Ewan will employ the town crier to make a series of proclamations taken from Poems of Human Service by Gustav Spiller, a leading figure in the pacifist and ethical movements in Britain in the early twentieth century. Echoing the Black Swan’s former life as a tavern and public meeting room, printed proclamations will then be displayed within the gallery after each cry, steadily re-activating historical aspirations towards a more egalitarian society over the duration of the exhibition.

Please see the events calendar for full details of performances.
