PassionArt


Be-Still


During the 8 weeks of Lent PassionArt : BE STILL (2016) celebrated the ancient Christian festival of Lent through the mindful reflection of art in six of Manchester’s most iconic venues. Contemporary installations, paintings, sculpture and live performances by internationally renowned and local artists uncovered moments where the sacred inhabits the ordinary. Seeking silence and stillness in a busy city is a spiritual exercise that all can explore, religious or secular. The art trail could be walked as a full days pilgrimage or each venue discovered as a single reflection in a lunch hour.

Each art work in the trail was accompanied by a reflection and a praxis to help visitors engage spiritually and practically with stillness, prayer and mindfulness. Personal meditations from people of all walks of life around the theme of stillness and solitude can be found on the 40 days page of our website, one for everyday of the season, to aid you in a Lenten journey.
