The Land of Green GingerHaving channelled 2.2 million emigrants and refugees through its platforms onto new lives, journeys and destinations, the old
ticket hall at the Paragon Station in Hull will become a platform for a sea of precious vessels holding the hopes and dreams of
men, women and children of all ages and cultures awaiting a new and unknown destination. Created and developed by the
artist Fabiane Perrella the founder of flour the project ‘The Land of Green Ginger’ aims to explore spaces of encounters
between refugee families who have moved into Hull and their host communities.
Aspiring to unveil what is particular and what is universal between the two cultures the project is an organic journey that will
peak in a remarkable exhibition encouraging new types of rapport amongst families, communities and cultures within Hull.
Revealing the skills and knowledge of both English and Congolese communities living in Hull the project draws upon the city’s
heritage proposing a fresh and optimistic journey in which we can all learn from one-another. The project aims to encourage
mutual understanding and the possibility of sharing views and dreams for the future by presenting a collaborative work of art,
which the whole city can take great pride in.
During the exhibition visitors are invited to come and write their hopes, dreams and aspirations upon a note, which will be
sealed within their chosen vessel, forever encapsulating their dream. Placing their cocooned hopes upon the floor of the
ticket hall a sea of vessels will ebb and then flow from the space as visitors will take another’s encapsulated dream to cherish
and nurture forever. These vessels were created by the refugees and the English families through the journey of the project’s
creative trail
