FORGE is coming to Bristol - Unit 15, Sussex Street BS2 0RA

In 2014 the 100kg iron 'welcome' gate was stolen from Dachau concentration camp. A local blacksmith forged a replica. It was exactly like the original. Almost.

Over three days artist Rachel Mars invites you to bear witness as she welds together another copy of the gate accompanied by Bristol-based sound artist Dinah Mullen who creates a live sound-scape in conversation with the action.

This impactful performance installation asks questions about memorials and provides a space to think about who is controlling narratives of past atrocities. An act of repetition and repair, FORGE asks what it is to preserve a site of collective trauma.

Tickets are priced on a Pay What You Can basis, with a minimum price of £1 and a recommended price of £12.
