NEW DATES: Earth artwork the next exhibit coming to Rochester Cathedral
Luke Jerram’s ‘Gaia’ will be arriving at Rochester Cathedral in MAY 2022
After the sell-out spectacular Space Voyage, the lightshow by Luxmuralis, Rochester Cathedral has announced that Luke Jerram’s ‘Gaia’ will be exhibiting from 24th May – 12th June 2022.
If you loved the ‘Museum of the Moon’ you won’t want to miss this.
Gaia was created by the same artist as the Museum of the Moon. Measuring seven metres in diameter, Gaia features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface. The imagery was compiled by the Visible Earth series, NASA. The artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet on this scale, floating in three-dimensions. A specially made surround sound composition by BAFTA award winning Composer Dan Jones is played alongside the sculpture. In Greek Mythology Gaia is the personification of the Earth.
Rochester Cathedral will announce further details about events during Gaia later this year. Events will explore climate change and the Church of England’s intention to be Net Carbon Zero by 2030. The Church of England has five marks of mission with the fifth being “To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.”
