Experience Philip Larkin’s life in Hull through film, poetry, music and readings in an immersive experience that fills the whole of the beautiful James Reckitt Reading Room at Hull Central Library.
The installation has been commissioned as part of Larkin 100, a year long celebration of Larkin’s centenary, and designed by Palma Studios, the creative team responsible for Made in Hull, which opened Hull’s 2017 City of Culture year to great acclaim.
Access has been granted by the Larkin Estate, the Larkin Society and other associated bodies to Larkin’s personal photographs, letters, draft poetry, artefacts and even doodles and these will all be included in an immersive experience utilising multiple projectors and surround sound to turn the beautiful James Reckitt Reading Room into a representation of Larkin’s internal thoughts and external influences as he lives and works in Hull.
This is a free public event and booking is not required. Open during normal Central Library hours.
Not to be missed!
