Norfolk and Norwich Festival
Friday 26–Sunday 28 May
Saturday 27 May: Main Event

For nearly 30 years, Anne Bean has had a studio near Walsingham, Norfolk. This village, which is known for a miraculous happening in 1061 and previously as a sacred Roman site, provides a unique context for artists. Thousands of people visit the village on pilgrimages every year. The audience for this event became ‘pilgrims,’ (wayfarers) led through the village, encountering performances, actions, demonstrations, films, exhibitions and installation, creating a basis for shared dialogue, conviviality and reflection ‘in search of the miraculous.’

Curated and convened by Anne Bean, the project features work by Anna Brass, Ansuman Biswas, selina bonelli, Oona Grimes, Poppy Jackson, Joan Key, Scilla Landale, Helen McIlldowie-Jenkins, Rev. Gyoro Nagase, Holly Slingsby, Filipos Tsitsopoulos, Candide Turner Bridger and Richard Wilson.
