Artlyst - British Museum Spotlight Loan Crossings: Community And Refuge

My latest article for Artlyst highlights the British Museum Spotlight Loan Crossings: Community And Refuge tour. This begins at Coventry Cathedral, where it will be shown briefly alongside Jake Lever's 'Do the Little Things' installation:

"Curator Jill Cook says, “The Lampedusa Cross reminds us of all the histories that are lost and of the thousands of people who are not otherwise remembered ...

Neil MacGregor described how, “Kourbaj’s little convoy of matchstick figures stand for all migrants, anywhere, driven by fear, guided by hope.” ...

“In the face of increasing isolation and uncertainty,” [Lever] says, “I wanted to convey a sense of journeying with them and cherishing them from afar.” That impulse is one that would seem to be shared by all the makers contributing to this tour. Would that we all felt the same."

Jake Lever was recently interviewed as part of HeartEdge's 'Living God's Future Now' programme - https://www.facebook.com/506026059544325/videos/1076762322816164.
