Chichester Cathedral is thrilled to be hosting artist Peter Walker's immersive installation, Peace Doves, this autumn.
This artwork is made up fifteen thousand individually handmade paper doves which are suspended above the Cathedral's historic Nave. Each dove contains a message of peace, love and hope, written by local community groups, schools and members of the public.
Ahead of the exhibition over one hundred schools and community groups from across West Sussex, as well as the general public, will write a messages of peace, love and hope on their paper dove before being returned to the Cathedral for the exhibition, taking place from 30th September - 12th November 2023.
Peace Doves is an artwork that has been re-curated for different spaces as it tours the UK. Adaptations have been seen in many Cathedrals including Rochester, Liverpool, Lichfield, Derby and Sheffield.
Peace Doves will be supported by a programme of events for people of all ages, including weekly story-telling under the Doves for under fives, silent discos and special evening viewings, when visitors will be able to experience the installation by twilight, and set to music by Composer David Harper.
Admission to the Cathedral is free and booking is not required, however donations are welcomed.
