Part of Cov Biennial's 2025 programme

Caitlin Kiely and Dr Jamie Larkin have collaborated through a co-commission with University of Warwick to make a new project that explores a broad definition of the museum – considering it as a collection of processes connected to a place, as opposed to a static destination or specific point in time.

Called Resurfacing, this ambitious exhibition brings together material collected from a quarry in Staffordshire, content from various historic archives and newly produced images.

Through the use of art, storytelling and social engagement they have reimagined museums, their structures and functions, applying a range of lenses to engage and connect with overlooked fragments of the Cathedral’s ecology and social history.

This collaborative methodology has been applied to the physical structure of the new Cathedral to create an immersive installation that explores the materials and labour that went into this iconic building.

Free admission.
