Yemen: Say hello to connect at the Great Northern Warehouse

31 Aug - 01 Sep

Yemen: Say hello to connect is a travelling digital artwork commissioned by Imperial War Museum and created by FutureEverything, as part of the IWM’s Yemen: Inside a Crisis season.

The people of Yemen are facing what is described by the UN as the ‘world’s worst’ humanitarian crisis – what is the true human cost of this conflict, and how can we understand it in the context of our own lives? Yemen: Say hello to connect takes the conversation beyond the museum walls, inviting you to connect with the real issues people are facing in Yemen right now.

Created by Artist Vicky Clarke and Creative Technologist Chris Ball, with words written and performed by Amerah Saleh, this interactive artwork is popping up in locations across the city to give you the chance to connect with the impact of the on-going conflict and humanitarian crisis in Yemen.

The artwork will be coming to the Great Northern Warehouse on 31 August and 1 September and explore the situation today in Yemen, where food is inaccessible to many. This installation provides the opportunity to learn more about how those living through the conflict cope with food insecurity. Amerah Saleh’s narration revisits her family’s experiences of struggling to access food in their home country.
You will find the installation in Great Northern Square.
When?
31 August, 11am-6pm
1 September, 11am-6pm
This is a FREE event, no ticket necessary.#InsideYemenCrisis
