SUMMARY:The Story Chair
DESCRIPTION:Watch this short film about the creation and development of the Story Chair. \n \nThe Story Chair was designed with women in touch with the criminal justice system in collaboration with charity Changing Lives\, Northumbria University and Newcastle Cathedral\, supported by the North East Probation Service and The British Academy. \nAs part of the project\, over 50 individuals from Newcastle\, Ashington\, North Tyneside\, and Sunderland participated in eight weeks of workshops\, honing storytelling and craft skills to illustrate their experiences – many marked by domestic violence and trauma. \nThe Cathedral’s involvement in the development of the chair came about through the Cathedral Lantern Project (formerly the Lantern Initiative)\, which takes inspiration from our iconic Lantern Tower and strives to be a beacon of light for those experiencing dark or difficult times. The Revd Jon Canessa explained\, “We wanted to ensure these women’s inspiring\, humbling and powerful stories are celebrated and heard.” \nTogether\, the women wrote complex\, emotionally difficult\, funny\, and\, most importantly\, real-life stories. The Story Chair\, crafted by Nick James from James Design\, is an abstract representation of the twists and turns of the women’s lives\, the need for a solid base and the lightness once stories have been shared\, representing the unique realities the women experienced\, while highlighting the interweaving nature of shared experience. \nFind out more about the Cathedral Lantern Project. \nHave Your Say on Cathedral Events \n \n

SUMMARY:Portraits with Purpose: Continuing Bonds (Exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with St Oswald’s Hospice\, artist Leanne Pearce created 12 poignant portraits\, working with bereaved and pre-bereaved families who have accessed the hospice’s bereavement support and/or other care services. \nThe collection celebrates the lives of loved ones\, provides a positive\, creative focus for grieving or pre-bereaved families\, and supports them in their ‘continuing bonds’ process. The exhibition opens conversations about death\, dying and grief while challenging some perceptions around ‘hospice care’. \nAfter meeting with families in the autumn of 2023\, during which many helped paint the backgrounds of their portrait canvases\, Leanne completed the emotive artworks in her home studio in Newcastle. The original canvases were displayed at Newcastle Civic Centre in May 2024 and have since been gifted to the families\, who were offered support by St Oswald’s Hospice’s Bereavement Team throughout. \nThe display at Newcastle Cathedral features high-quality prints of the original artworks and the stories behind them. \nClick here for more information about the project and the families involved\, on the St Oswald’s Hospice website. \nBelow\, you can watch the moving videos created by St Oswald’s Hospice\, which accompany the exhibition. The artist\, Leanne Pearce\, will be at the Cathedral on Saturday 9 November from 10.30am – 12.30pm to speak to visitors and chat about her work.\n \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEGIuFxcwsY&feature=youtu.be
