A Natural Anthem

A Natural Anthem heralds the dawn of a new nation, with live music and theatrical speeches from the balconies of the Turbinia Atrium. Follow our musical procession as performers lead you to A Natural Anthem exhibition, where you can listen to ‘Lark Radio’ broadcasts and interviews, and have exclusive access to a special archive of photographic memorabilia and artefacts from the new nation. Join our growing community by taking up the nation’s currency of seeds, and plant your hopes and dreams for the future. The exhibition is inspired by documents held in Tyne & Wear Archives, themes of security, propaganda and remembrance, and Issac Rosenberg’s ‘Returning, We Hear the Larks’. A Natural Anthem explores the impact of threat, harnessing of community action during First World War, and today’s fight to protect the natural world. Performances take place on 23 January, 20 February & 21 March 2015 All performances start at 1.30pm in the Turbinia Atrium and run for 20 minutes.
