Sound artwork launched at London Waterloo station

- Published
A sound artwork has been installed at Waterloo London Underground station by Transport for London (TfL).
Rory Pilgrim's 10-minute Go Find Miracles, which combines music and spoken word, partly written by prisoners, will play along the moving walkway connecting the Jubilee and Northern lines on weekdays until 25 July.
A collaboration with the Feminist Library in Peckham, the Prison Choir Project and the Mayor of London's culture and community spaces at risk programme, it reflects London's links to Dorset.
Eleanor Pinfield, head of Art on the Underground, said: "Pilgrim's collaborative approach has brought together voices from London and Portland to consider the miraculous in the everyday."

The Dorset Isle of Portland's stone is the material used to build many well-known London buildings, including the headquarters of TfL and the BBC, as well as Waterloo station itself.
Recorded in an underground quarry and on a disused Jubilee line platform, Go Find Miracles explores how the law impacts our lives and environment and is structured around a prayer of call and response between London and Portland.
The lyrics and melodies of the work have partly been written together with men from HMP/YOI Portland.
Holly Upton, neurodiversity support manager at HMP/YOI Portland, said: "This has been an inspiring experience for both staff and prisoners.
"We're looking forward to seeing it come to life on the Underground."
