What’s in an apology? When was the last time you said sorry... and meant it? What are you sorry, truly sorry about?

Inspired by the artist’s own deeply personal experience of loss, this exhibition is centred on the powerful, restorative and healing experience of saying “I’m Sorry”.

I’m Sorry is not about flippant apologies, taking the blame or over-apologising in fear of what others think. Instead, it’s about unburdening ourselves of guilt, reclaiming control and discovering self-esteem, without fear of conflict. It is a powerful tool for forgiveness and healing. It is introspection for the collective good to create a more compassionate world.

McCourt invites you to step inside the safe, contemplative space of I’m Sorry. Discover raw moments of private reflection, confessions without guilt, secret ceremonials of power and meditation. Take a pilgrimage into I’m Sorry and embark on a journey of personal transformation, free from judgement, before returning to daily life.

I’m Sorry by Annabel McCourt is a touring exhibition from Barnsley Civic. Curated by Elizabeth Dickinson. Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
