The Chapel of St George<\/a> at Heathrow Airport celebrated its 50th anniversary in October 2018, and Heathrow Chaplaincy invited Arts Chaplaincy Projects to develop an exhibition\u00a0to help mark this occasion. Artist Anna Sikorska<\/a>, assisted by Wimbledon MA Painting student Maria del Pino Cornejo<\/a>, worked with the airport community – which includes 76,000 staff, and 78 million passengers per year – to collaboratively produce a series of colour lightboxes, for installation within the chapel.\u00a0Visitors are welcome to view the lightboxes during chapel opening hours, from 7 am – 7 pm every day.<\/p>\n

\n

The chapel was built at the centre of the original airport complex, which in turn was in the centre of a \u2018star of David\u2019 configuration of runways. The visual simplicity of this setting has become complicated over the intervening years by ongoing airport expansion. Moreover, this physical complexity is mirrored by a cultural diversity; although always international by definition, the airport is now situated within a multicultural, multi-faith city, and this is reflected in the interfaith work of Heathrow chaplaincy.\u00a0While the chapel may no longer be at the centre of the physical map of the airport, it nevertheless remains a spiritual centre for the airport community, and our project aims to reflect this, and to encourage the people of Heathrow to engage with their chapel.<\/p>\n
