The Gleaning was an exhibition and installation forming part of the Somerset Arts Weeks from 22nd September - 9th October 2022 and was located in Shepton Mallet Church. Gill Sakakini and Fiona Campbell collaborated and co-curated this ambitious community arts project.
The Gleaning retrospective can be found at fionacampbellart.co.uk/the-gleaning. Enjoy looking back on this exciting project in the heart of Shepton Mallet.
Reflections from The Gleaning used during Vespers can be found here - "The Gleaning Reflections"
