“Letters to Forever”, a three-week immersive art exhibition, turning over 200 deeply personal letters into visual art installation, sound, scent, video pieces, and performance. Developed and led by the artist Natalia Millman, this project is a profound exploration of loss, love, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Supported by Arts Council England and presented in partnership with Cruse Bereavement Support, “Letters to Forever” invites you into a transformative journey of collective storytelling, healing, and creativity.
