With their unique setup including drums, saxophone and organ foot pedals, they translate ancestral melodies for the modern era giving the tunes renewed meaning.
Visual Art
Friday 29 March / 7pm - 9pm / Hay's Dock
Malcolm Innes has been commissioned for our Remembering Together project to deliver his idea of "Back to the Light", which is an innovative art installation proposal designed to foster collective experiences of remembrance and reflection.
Through multimedia elements like sound, light, and projection mapping, this installation aims to offer a unique sensory experience that engages audiences visually and emotionally. The project will consist of two related elements, “Together” and “Apart”.
"Together” will be a live participatory outdoor event to be held from 7pm - 9pm at Hay's Dock in Lerwick on the 29th March 2024. This interactive projection, sound and music event will encourage passersby to pause and participate in shared acts of remembering. Visitors can interact with the installation, contributing their movements and actions to enhance the collective experience.
Activities
Easter Egg Challenge!
We'll be having an Easter Egg Challenge around Mareel during the school holidays - we've hidden 10 eggs around the building, each of them with a letter inside!
Pick up an egg challenge sheet from Front of House, match the colour of the egg to the eggs on the sheet, write down the letter it has inside, and you should be able to spell out our secret message...
Bring your completed sheet back to Front of House for a little prize!
