Great & Tiny War Early Bird Tickets
In January we announced Bobby Baker's latest project, Great - Tiny War.
EARLY BIRD TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE
In this new work Baker invites us on an audio guided tour of a transformed house – an ingenious, immersive multimedia installation inspired by real stories, passed down through her family and shaped by the domestic and emotional labour of conflicts.Guests will meet with an uncommon experience as the house contents juxtapose the spectacular with the everyday – a spectral heroine, a baked armoury, 4,701 reinvented dinners – and other happenings of unpredictable proportions.Baker’s astonishing installation was commissioned by 14-18 NOW, the UK’s arts programme for the First World War centenary, in its finale year, and is produced by Wunderbar.Great - Tiny War shines a light on the role of women during wartime and the impact of conflicts, historical and contemporary, on the mental health of whole families through the generations.In doing so, Baker celebrates the women who carry on running houses, bringing up children, and keeping families together at the most harrowing of times.Great - Tiny War serves as a monument to their unacknowledged private struggles and personal strength, and will resonate with anyone whose family has been touched by conflict.To find out more and get first dibs on booking slots, follow our Facebook event page.We can’t wait to show you round our new house!#greattinywar #1418NOW #ww1art #ww1centenary
