Conveying the letter by Stacey Cooper

A giant textile letter has been conveyed by students from Chatham to Canterbury to mark the start of a symposium celebrating artist Tadeusz Kantor.

The letter, over 10m in length, was carried from The Historic Dockyard to our Jarman Building by a group of Fine Art and Event & Experience Design students dressed as Polish postal workers.

The group, led by Adam Chodzko, Senior Lecturer in Fine Art in the School of Music and Fine Art, delivered it to visual artist Goshka Macuga, keynote speaker at the Kantorbury Symposium.

The Symposium took place from 18-19 September to celebrate the life and work of Polish theatre director and visual artist Tadeusz Kantor. The giant letter is a replica of the original produced by Tadeusz Kantor in 1989 to symbolise censorship of Polish art.
