A three week series of live art performances; 11 artists and curators consider the role of ritual and rite in contemporary practice.

The act of ritual is explored from the viewpoint of three distinct rites; rites of passage, communal rites and rites of personal devotion in contemporary living.

Each event is followed by a post-performance open forum attended by the artists and the public to promote dialogue around each piece experienced.
