The Fire Garden at GDIF 2020
Greenwich and Docklands Festival, London – Fire Garden at Thames Barrier Park.
The Greenwich & Docklands International Festival, one of the first outdoor arts festivals to take place as lock down restrictions are eased, took place in early September 2020 and we we're excited to be part of the after-dark programme of events.
Over a period of two hours, audiences of 500 from across London joined us on a trail through a magically transformed riverside park landscape in Silvertown, a place full of local stories, where sculptural trees glowed with fire, and flowers blossomed into life with flames... the perfect antidote to a summer of isolation, evoking the warmth of togetherness and renewal.
We we're so pleased to have designed this Fire Garden with accessibility in mind, with BSL communicating the oral history elements of the installation and providing wheelchair access throughout the series of fiery sculptures.
