SUMMARY:Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: I
 nto the Wyld
DESCRIPTION:\nInto The Wyld\n\n\n\n\nMaterial Matters presents Into the Wy
 ld: a festival of contemporary art exploring the continuing legacy of the 
 medieval poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and its unique connection 
 to the Wirral.\n\nInto The Wyld will feature a residency by The Material 
 Matters Collective will be in residency and work from over 20 invited arti
 sts across the region. There is also an associated programme of performanc
 e art\, poetry readings\, children’s workshops\, film screenings and a s

 kshops and readings will be curated by Silvia Battista.\n\nGawain is a ma
 sterpiece text of the Middle Ages. The poem tells the story of King Arthur
 ’s headstrong young nephew who after a dramatic bargain with a mysteriou
 s figure faces a long journey in which he must\, quite literally\, keep hi
 s head. Sir Gawain’s quest ‘into the wilderness of the Wirral’ is a 
 fourteenth century narrative that will be given a radical 21st century int
 erpretation by the artists.\n\nFeatured artists for Into the Wyld includ
