Arrivals + Departures
Wednesday 5 May 2021
Artists Yara and Davina create ambitious public artworks that respond to site, context and audience. Their inventive, issue-based work is wide ranging, and uses a lightness of touch that make their works both poetic and universal.
Arrivals + Departures invites the public to share the names of those who have arrived and departed on live boards, to acknowledge, celebrate and commemorate.
On Wednesday 5 May 2021 Yara and Davina invited me to ‘takeover’ the boards of their Brighton International Festival exhibit in Pavilion Gardens to commemorate the lives of those who died from an AIDS-related illness in Brighton & Hove.
It was an honour & a pleasure to be invited to be a part of this wonderful public artwork exploring birth, death, and the journey in between.

I hear the voices of dead friends
Love is life that lasts forever
My hearts memory turns to you...’
