Berwick Parade (2025)
Public Artwork, Berwick-upon-Tweed, UK
A parade of giants, featuring over 800 local residents from Berwick, projected onto the monumental walls of the historic Berwick Barracks. Matthew worked with the Maltings to introduce the project to the town, inviting dozens of local groups to participate – from cold water swimmers and prize winning sheep to dock workers and schools. The three-night event at Berwick Barracks was accompanied by live music, transforming its historic courtyard into a celebratory public space for the town, attended by over 2,000 people.
Matthew worked with choreographer Chloe Sayers and videographer Carl Joyce, to film participants processing in front of a mini version of the Barracks over a series of filming days, and then edited these together to form the 30 minute parade. The resulting projected parade of giants was a joyful celebration of the many identities that form a community, platforming those who may not ordinarily be able to participate in a physical parade such as school children and the elderly, and those with access needs.
