Welcome to Penzance
Not much here really
Make the most of it!
Poundland, Abbey Slip, Prem, Bus Stop.
It’s staples
Our secrets …
I’ll take you there.
And show you the unseen.
But please don’t say ‘in my day…’
Are you ready to follow?
Through My Eyes is a guided audio-tour of Penzance.
More than just a tour – it’s an invitation to connect, listen and to see the world through the unique perspective of young people living at the westerly edges of Cornwall today.
A lens into their lives, hidden places, imagination, hopes and dreams for the future. A remapping of Penzance developed in collaboration with the young people who live in Penzance and call it home.
Through My Eyes has been commissioned by Wildworks Theatre as a part of their program Hello Stranger! with support from Trelya and PZ Youth Centre.
It opened on June 1st 2024 at The Exchange Gallery in Penzance.
The next showings took place on June 23rd 2024 as a part of Golowan Festival.
