'Loom Raider'
as part of Holmfirth's Indoor Market Pop-up Exhibition evening
and the main Art Market event...
Artists Rachael Boddington (Glittermoth Factory) and Amy Hirst are proud to present a rare appearance by the worker's hero King Ludd. The good people of Holmfirth are invited to step up to (puppet) King Ludd's cabinet and help him wield his hammer and his shoe to redistribute the wealth back to those skilled ones amongst you.
This is the first time King Ludd has been revealed to the public in 200 years!
See him in action 6.30pm-9.30pm 23rd June and all day on 24th June
This will be an interactive installation inspired by the legend of King Ludd, inviting Art Market visitors to peep into the past, to celebrate the story of the Luddites and their important place in our history. The artists will be present to welcome people, share in conversations and facilitate their engagement with the work. Visitors will be invited to manipulate the puppet.
Meet you there for a smashing time!
