Letters to Forever — NATALIA MILLMAN
For three weeks, the historic St Peter’s Church will host over 200 personal letters—each written in moments of grief and reflection—reimagined as visual installations, soundscapes, scent pieces, video works, and live performances. Curated and led by Natalia MIllman and supported by Arts Council England in partnership with Cruse Bereavement Support, this exhibition offers a thoughtful and creative exploration of loss, love, and resilience.
These letters, written by people navigating their own experiences of loss, become the heart of the exhibition. Through drawing, movement, sound and space, they are brought to life in ways that speak to both the pain and the beauty of remembering. Rather than offering answers, Letters to Forever opens a space to feel, to connect, and to reflect—alone or with others.
This is a multi-sensory experience: meditative audio, tactile materials, subtle scents, and powerful imagery combine to create an environment that is both gentle and thought-provoking.
To deepen the experience, the exhibition includes interactive workshops (see info below), offering visitors the chance to explore their own emotions creatively. From mindful clay to journaling, grief circles with breathwork, and yoga for healing, each session is led by local practitioners. Two workshops are dedicated to the Ukrainian community and carers of people with dementia, reflecting the project’s commitment to inclusion and care.
