 Devised in collaboration with visual artists, architects, environmentalists and local food producers, the festival was a series of events, including a participative concert La Memoria dell'Acqua, which invited local people to become involved in the regeneration of old industrial buildings and change their perceptions of the neglected river area.Site-specific work includes an installation for Michelangelo Pistoletto's Arte al Centro exhibition in Turin, Italy, which is on a European tour, featuring so far in galleries in Amsterdam, Antwerp and Zurich.Other major installations integrating sound, art and performance include "Safe and Sound", commissioned by Helix Arts for the City of Sunderland and "Corridors of Power", selected for the International Society of Contemporary Music Festival and awarded the SPNM Butterworth Prize for new work.
