Over the last six weeks, we have been working with Oscar-winning Aardman Animations on an innovative, one of a kind, crowd-sourced digital storytelling project for our UK/India 2017 season. Each week, online audiences have been writing and voting for the next line of the story, which is then interpreted and illustrated by seven standout artists from the UK and India.
Now in its final week, it is your final chance to get involved - how would you like to see the story end? Take part by submitting the ending to the story, voting on the winning storyline or simply admiring the breadth of artistic responses by Gemma Corell, Adrita Das, Tom Mead, Saloni Sinha, Janine Shroff, Gavin Strange and Priyesh Trivedi.
