The Tapestry Project 2019 – Britain Narrates Itself

Audiovisual Installation responding to the Hastings Embroidery, made in 1966 by stitchers of the Royal School of Needlework
Commissioned and Produced by Bridgepoint Rye

Concept, visuals Tim Hopkins
Music and sounds composed by Robert Thomas
Production sound design Danny Bright
Light design Nicholas Holdridge

This project sits at a crossroads of coincidences: the coming to light of this work marking a version of Britain’s past, a chance to show it again in a big space, and the immediate upheaval around Britain’s future.  
Tim Hopkins’ new immersive installation around the 240 foot Hastings Embroidery imagines the energy of this as it rushes past us on its way to being something else.
