In 2021 we are working with the National Trust at Hardwick Hall using the theme of light. Light, and how much of it we get, is incredibly important for our personal wellbeing as well as for a heritage site. Whilst the sunshine may be great for our mood, it is not so beneficial for a 500 year old tapestry; and this is where the conversation begins between community and Hall.

In June we will be recording light information (we call this data) at community sites across Derbyshire, whilst Hardwick’s house team will record light information at the same time. We will then interpret the information through art and science to bring it to life and give it personality.
