Hello,

To Celebrate 21 years of the Mela we are running an exhibition in Teesside
University's Constantine Gallery on the 3rd 4th and 5th of November and it's
open to the public each day from 10 am to 4pm. This features the "Octorama"
principle which consists of 8 screens and 8 sound sources.

gymnasium sized, black draped structure.

The launch on Wednesday evening was very well attended by the community
groups involved in the production. Since then we've had a slow but steady
stream of visitors to see 21 years worth of images and artefacts and hear
50+ voices talk about the Mela in several different. We're streaming it at
