ARTWORK complementing an exhibition marking the abolition of the slave trade has been produced following a collaboration between school pupils and college students.
Students from Herefordshire College of Art and Design have worked with pupils from Wyebridge High School to produce art to complement the Distorted Image exhibition at Hereford Cathedral, which marks 200 years since the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Spatial design students from the college were helped in the initial stages of the project by school pupils studying for GCSEs and five installations were produced, based on the theme of distorted image.
Sarah Arrowsmith, the cathedral's education officer, said: "It has been very exciting to witness the development of the project from its initial conception to the final installations. The students' work is challenging and thought-provoking."
The exhibition, in the cloister, complements the Cathedral's own exhibition in the Mappa Mundi chamber and the Chained Library, which is on show until September.
