This stunning set of textile panels were displayed in the Mayor's Parlour on Monday. They represent the four faiths of Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, incorporating key symbols of each. Although each panel is separate and distinct, they are linked through swirls that represent water and light, both of which are common to all four faiths.

The panels will tour around the schools accompanied by a sound piece that explores the themes through voice and music.

This Faith Communities Artwork and Recording project is an excellent initiative of Global Arts Kingston. Sue Edkins led on the project which involved group discussions with members of each faith, many of whom turned up for the launch. We also met the textile artist Louise Baldwin and the sound artist Keya Ashraf.
