Part protest, part sculpture, part ceremony. I Am From Reykjavik is Sonia Hughes' attempt to be a post-racial, global citizen.
As borders close and identities become narrower how is it to bring your whole self anywhere?
You are invited to watch or to join in this durational performance, from 9.30am - 4.30pm.
Free, drop-in.
Ahead of her Take Over performance, Sonia will be in St Helens to meet local people, who "are a bit like" her (sharing similar experiences / heritage / interests), get to know them over a cuppa and learn about our town. Interested? Visit our Facebook event for more information.
