In this exclusive tour, curator Chris Bayley will give an insight into the research and themes explored in the immersive installation and soundscape, which comprises of 100 microphones suspended above 100 spikes, each piercing a page with a  verse of poetry by a poet incarcerated for their work, writings, or beliefs.
