Installations at the Cathedral
Free London Events: Festivals, Carnivals and Exhibitions This Week
From the Greenwich + Docklands International Festival finale to Notting Hill Carnival, residents have numerous free options.
The main installation, titled 'Soul', is a large-scale light and projection artwork that will cover the Cathedral's west front. This piece is designed to be participatory, inviting visitors to submit thoughts and reflections via a digital platform. These contributions will influence the coloured light responses, focusing on themes such as hope, peace, kindness, and community. As more people engage, the projection is intended to evolve into a collective artwork, merging the illuminated façade with digital imagery and an original soundscape.
A second installation, 'The Point of Unity', will be situated in the south Churchyard Gardens, adjacent to the Cathedral. This sculptural light installation, which was previously shown at Burning Man in 2025, explores themes of unity, hope, and resilience. During daylight hours, its mirrored canopy reflects the surrounding environment and the sky. After sunset, it will be illuminated with fibre-optic lighting, laser effects, and sound.
Both 'Soul' and 'The Point of Unity' are free to attend and do not require tickets. Visitors can experience the installations between 11th and 21st September. Sunset is expected to occur around 7:30pm each evening during the event.
