When words are forgotten, their shadows will dance.
Inspired by the Egyptian medieval traditions of khayal al-zill shadow theatre, this exhibition brings together drawings, linoprints and shadow puppets created by Dr Sam Bowker for the Green Beetle Company.
Together, these tell stories long forgotten, which have not yet been told.
