Sleepers is an immersive experience inspired by the story of the ‘Seven Sleepers’ in the Bible and the Qur’an. Join us to experience the latest arts installation from Soul City Arts as we invite you to enter the cave. The public will be guided by a host to experience a cave-like setting along with soundscapes replicating the feeling of being isolated away from city-life. It will take place at ‘Port Hope’ – an arts centre in the heart of Sparkbrook, Birmingham.
Visitors can experience our cave installation through two curated experiences. During the day there will be regular opportunities to experience the installation as a group. The experience will last approximately 30 minutes with time to sit and reflect.
By night we will be offering a limited number of extended experiences that invite visitors to stay overnight. These extended visits will start at 8pm and run though until 8am.
‘Sleepers’ has been supported by the University of Birmingham as part of ‘Qur’an In the City’ through their Culture Forward initiative.
