 n\nABOUT THE EXHIBITION\nFilipino artist Jason Dy\, S.J. is to exhibit Sit
 es of Refuge in Liverpool’s city centre. The project seeks to engage the
  public in the topical conversation of displacement\, refuge and sanctuary
 . The artist aims to create sites that evoke disruption as well as meditat
 ion.\n\nThe project is comprised of two installations\; a Tree of Refuge l
 ocated in Clayton Square and a Transitional Shelter built and displayed in
  the Baltic Triangle. Both pieces are interactive\; the tree – a 6ft Syr
 ian Cedar tree will be dedicated to those who have lost their lives whilst
  fleeing conflict. The dedication will take the form of a traditional tree
  wrapping ceremony conducted by a Buddhist Monk. The public will then be i
 nvited to write their hopes and prayers for the victims of political\, rel
 igious and cultural persecutions on tags and to tie them on the twigs of t
 he tree.\n\nThe Transitional Shelter will be constructed out of discarded 
 and salvaged materials. Once assembled it will visually reflect the shelte
 rs built by the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013. Th
 e public are invited to climb into the temporary structure and listen to t
 he continual sound of rain whilst taking a verse from the biblical lament 
 Psalm 77 and write it themselves on the walls of the shed.\n\nThis will be
  Dy’s final European Exhibition before he returns to the Philippines in 
 December and is expected to be a provocative and moving work.\n\nCOST\nBot
 h sites are free but donations can be made to the Philippine charity Task 
 Force Noah for survivors of the recent typhoon Kuppo and to Liverpool’s 
 Hope+ Food Bank and Asylum Link.\n\nSPONSORS\nShed King\nMission in the Ec
 onomy\nBaltic Blessings\nJesuits UK\nAll Saints Parish\, Liverpool\n\nFOR
