A walking tour of Hull. Using postcards and letters from family history research, woven together with local facts and fictions, the artists invited participants to embark on a search for a vanished community, and for places that no longer exist. The tour explored Hull's Jewish history, drawing on stories of the thousands the migrants who came through Hull in the early 1900s. It also encompassed the artist's research into the history of plants and plant migrations, looking for traces of plants that could have arrived alongside the passengers from all over the world. Through the tour and the stories they tell, the artists seek to find ways of communicating with their own and other's pasts.
