Ghost Cargo

Tuesday 21st June, 12 - 1.30pm

At midday on the 2011 summer solstice, Tuesday, 21 June 2011, the skies above and around Leeds city centre will play host to a unique ‘sky writing’ project conceived by internationally renowned artist and writer, Caroline Bergvall, and delivered as a part of the 20th annual Refugee Week celebrations. As part of the project, the artist is inviting people right across Leeds to pick up their phones and video cameras, film the artwork as it passes overhead, and upload their footage to this Event page.
More information about the project can be found here: www.writingencounters.org. via The Other Room
