This unique partnership between Cathedral staff and University\u00a0artists, architects and historians will help participants to discover and learn about previously unknown, unexplored or secret spaces and aspects of the Cathedral, be they architectural, private, sacred, public, acoustic, communal or dramatic. The festival aims to engage new audiences with heritage as part of the Cathedral\u2019s developing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canterbury-cathedral.org\/heritage-lottery-funding-the-canterbury-journey\/\">Canterbury Journey project<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Anne\u2019s talk and walk, entitled \u2018Secret Saints\u2019 takes place on Monday 20 June at 6pm and 7pm and follows a winding, interactive trail to discover the stories behind the hidden and unexpected saints of Canterbury Cathedral. A family torn apart by pirates, children carried off by wild animals; a virgin martyr tortured by having her teeth are pulled out, the man who pinched the Devil\u2019s nose, the woman who helped bring Christianity to England&#8230; all this and more will be revealed by looking at tombs, icons, and stained glass.<\/p>\n<p>Questions of Space is supported by the University\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/humanities\/research\/funding_schemes.html\">Faculty of Humanities Research Fund<\/a>, its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/publicengagement\/index.html\">Public Engagement with Research Fund<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahrc.ac.uk\/\">Arts and Humanities Research Council<\/a> (AHRC).<\/p>\n<p>Further information and how to book is available at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/publicengagement\/questions-of-space.html\">www.kent.ac.uk\/publicengagement\/questions-of-space.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Anne Alwis, from the Department of Classical &amp; Archaeological Studies, will be taking part in the Questions of Space\u00a0festival at Canterbury Cathedral from 20-21 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/2016\/06\/02\/anne-alwis-at-questions-of-space-festival\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5829,"featured_media":4439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18564,124],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6068"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5829"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6068"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6068\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6088,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6068\/revisions\/6088"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
