Peace Night

Peace Night Hexham Together for Ukraine in collaboration with Skimstone Arts
23-24 Feb 2024

Performances and stories from our Holocaust Memorial Day event A Night of Fear and Freedom were invited to be part of Peace Night, an event made in collaboration with Hexham Together for Ukraine. ​

Together at Hexham Abby, we hosted a two-part Peace Journey, inviting the local community to reflect on the devastating impact of war, urging us all to join our voices for the cause of peace, as we marked the second anniversary of the beginning of the war in Ukraine on 24 February. Powerful music, movement, performances and visual art included a diversity of voices from Ukraine and our own artists community alongside our Fear or Freedom? Exhibition.

"Claire Webster Saaremets... You directed and created a wonderful composed event, which followed the peace journey perfectly and that the audience understood the message of the evening. Well done and thank you. Well done and thank you, to you Peter and all your team and for introducing us to wonderful poets as in Clare, Verity for her gorgeous voice and song and Rapasa too for his words and music too. Fabulous" Member of Hexham Together Feedback.
