About
Artists Keith Ashford and Elizabeth Turner invite you to attend an immersive video projection amongst the support pillars of the Coventry Highway, Arrow Valley Country Park, Redditch.
The work will explore connections between the 19th C needle industry and the New Town structures of the 1970’s, combining video of the machinery of Forge Mill with the rhythms of sewing and journeys through the landscape.
The Arrow Valley is a unique area which has the last remaining water powered needle scouring mill in the world and a nineteenth century mill pond network alongside the New Town road system of the 1970’s.
This event is part of the 2019-20 art project, Scour: the Museum in the Landscape to explore the industrial heritage of the Arrow Valley landscape. Find out more about Scour:
