Moments of Grace — Bloomsbury Festival 2026
Moments of Grace is an immersive oral history installation distilling a century of nursing and midwifery stories into one time-bending 24-hour shift.
Oral histories and original music are sequenced to clock time, while a light sculpture marks the passing hours. The project brings together recorded testimony from nurses and midwives across generations, exploring how care reshapes our experience of time.
