The Info

Our Voyage commemorates the 400th anniversary of first Thanksgiving and was commissioned as part of Pilgrim Root’s Mayflower 400 celebrations.

Our Voyage is an animated film, originally designed and created for the ‘canvas’ of Gainsborough Old Hall, Lincolnshire. Electric Egg designed a projection scheme that worked with and enhanced the elevations of this historic building and brought the Pilgrim story to life on an epic scale that has now been translated for a possible touring scheme for this exhibition.

The film charts the Pilgrims’ story from the life they escaped in England, to their famous voyage, and to the foundation of the Plymouth settlement in Massachusetts. “Our Voyage” explores the impact and legacy of this journey, in what is commemorated to this day but also its part in the repression of the native peoples of America.
