ArtHouse Jersey is delighted to be working with acclaimed International artist and video designer Akhila Krishan. Arrivals is the second edition of the incredibly popular projection mapping and sound work, The Sound of Colour which was first presented in one of Jersey’s most treasured public spaces, St Helier Town Church in 2021.

Arrivals traces the emergence of language in Jersey; from the distant whisperings of the Magdalenian people, the Iron Age Celts of Gaul, Roman traders, the Franks, the Normans, the Bretons and the emergence of our native language Jèrriais. Bringing light into the darkening month of November, Arrivals aims to evoke a deeper understanding of how our language and culture has been woven into existence over thousands of years of settlement by different peoples and cultures. We finally land in present day Jersey, where the sounds of modern English, French, Portuguese, Polish, Romanian, Swahili and many more languages can be heard.

Sound designer Sarah Keirle is working with ArtHouse Jersey Producer Natasha Dettman and Technical Manager JP Le Blond to deliver a fully immersive 8 channel soundscape to accompany the projection, making this a truly memorable experience.

Friday 8 to Saturday 23 November (various times apply, see ArtHouse website).
