Meadow Arts and Hereford Cathedral are working in partnership to commission a new artwork, inspired by the Mappa Mundi, by highly esteemed artist Yinka Shonibare MBE (RA), with funding from the Herefordshire’s a Great Place scheme. To launch to launch the new artwork, titled Creatures of the Mappa Mundi, Shonibare, who was awarded a CBE (Commander of The British Empire) in the 2019 New Year Honours List, will give a talk in the cathedral nave on Thursday 24 January. Interviewed by broadcaster and writer Francine Stock, he will discuss the inspiration for this new commission for Meadow Arts, which has been inspired by one of Hereford Cathedral’s treasures, the Mappa Mundi. Displayed next to the Cathedral’s Chained Library, the Hereford Mappa Mundi is the largest medieval world map to survive. One of its most remarkable features is that it is illustrated with strange people and animals, drawn by artists from the exaggerated descriptions of travellers to far off lands. Shonibare has been inspired by the map and its alien creatures to create a new work for Herefordshire, which will be on show from late January to June 2019. Illustrated on the map are various creatures, natural and supernatural, including camels, […]
