Festival of Ancients2016

Festival of Ancients by Jo Hellier is an outdoor, public art installation reflecting on waste and extractivism. The work is framed as a festival set in the future, which celebrates and laments our present.

Originally commissioned by Bristol Biennial in 2016 and presented as part of Artsadmin’s 2 Degrees festival.
