Launching on Thursday 6 April, artist LR Vandy is creating a brand new outdoor sculpture, titled ‘Dancing in Time: The Ties That Bind Us’, helping audiences to engage with International Slavery Museum from outside of its traditional walls.
Providing a platform for multiple voices in developing the overall vision of the Waterfront Transformation Project, the art installation will feed into plans for the overall transformation of the new International Slavery Museum, exploring storytelling, interpretation, and the wider historic waterfront.
Continuing in the same spirit as the first and second pop-ups in the Martin Luther King Jr Building in 2022, this exhibition echoes Vandy’s recent studio relocation to Chatham Historic Dock Yard, working with the Ropery, a 19th century building that still makes rope in the traditional way.
Dancing in Time: The Ties That Bind Us will be located on the Canning Dock quayside until summer 2023.
