 Messages of Hope for Our World
Stimulate Thought and Discussion

To tie in with our theme of EDEN, Restoring Paradise – Beauty, Care, Destruction and Restoration this year, we asked for contributions nationwide of textile banners and received a remarkable 24 !! The textile artwork responds to the questions:

• What is beauty?
• Who cares and why?
• How can destruction lead to hope?
• Have you got a vision of how the world can be restored?

A banner of hope bearing the words: “Restore Our Oceans” heralds the Banners Trail, one of the events featured in the Cheltenham’s Heritage Open Days this month. The Banners Trail starts in Christ Church’s Hub Gallery, open 10am -12 noon on 10th and 13th -17th September, and further banners can be found in Cambray Church and St. Luke’s Church.
