An immersive sound and light installation within Redcliffe Caves
Tiny lights together form a powerful constellation at an immersive installation inside Redcliffe Caves.
Visitors to We Are Warriors are invited to add their own individual light made from LED bulbs and watch batteries, to join the thousands of other flicking beacons.
As well as the lights, We Are Warriors also features the voices of more than 100 women and girls from Bristol aged from eight to 80.
is needed now More than ever
The installation from In Between Time has been described as a “powerful constellation of fireflies, whispers, murmurs and sighs; a magnificent roar for a fairer, safer and more equal world”.

“As you enter, add your light to the growing constellation, in tribute to anyone who has ever felt their voice or presence muffled, suppressed or silenced.”
