Beyond the Deepening Shadow

Polly produced tours for both visually impaired D/deaf and hearing-impaired visitors. She also created a Social Story resource for visitors to the event with autism.

As the nation commemorated the centenary of the end of the First World War, an installation at the Tower of London, Beyond the Deepening Shadow: The Tower Remembers filled the moat with thousands of individual flames. This was a public act of remembrance for the lives of the fallen, honouring their sacrifice. Designed by Tom Piper, the unfolding visual spectacle was accompanied by a specially commissioned sound installation by Sound Artist Mira Calix; a sonic exploration of the shifting tide of political alliances, friendship, love and loss in war.  Polly produced tours for both visually impaired D/deaf and hearing-impaired visitors. She also created a Social Story resource for visitors to the event with autism.
