Multi Story Exhibit Event

About the event

To celebrate the Multi Story exhibit coming to campus we will be holding an event as part of the  Wildworks 'Hello Stranger' project, whose brainchild was the installation of illuminated box portrait dioramas. These were created by twelve Cornwall based artists working in collaboration with twelve local people who were born outside the UK but who now make Cornwall their home.

Join us for delicious food and hear from some of the artists and people involved in the project; enjoy an exclusive preview of the accompanying photography exhibition documenting the creative journey and learn about the installation and how it celebrates each person’s unique story.

Free – book a spot here.
