PYRO

His story became History. Her story became Heresy. The sacred and profane collide in a new performance by interdisciplinary artist Jo Blake, inspired by the Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Three copies of the gospel have been found – all of them with missing pages. As the only gospel written in the name of a woman, it reveals Mary as a most formidable and courageous spiritual leader, confidante and companion of Christ. Moving through humour, bold physicality and intricate storytelling; The Witness reveals how one woman’s 2000 year old testimony comes clattering into the life of a contemporary woman, initiating a reckoning and demanding that the missing pages be written anew.

Group exhibition of University of Northampton MA Fine Art students – Shannen Garfitt, Tina Hazell, Charlie Horry, Kaiya Khatri, Rebekah Miles-Coleman, Shazia Mufti and Claire Stear – each exploring ideas of nature, landscape and the environment through painting, print and photography.
