What happens when 20 portraits are submerged in the Deben River for a month... encased in the mud and swept by the currents, explored by creatures and at times rocked in a gentle lullaby as the tide rises and falls.

Will anything remain?

Come and see the unexpected and spectacular results.... The Miller, the Councillor and the Musicians amongst others... how did they fare?

Find out why it was done.

Supported by a set of beautiful photographic images captured from the river by Ruth Leach this controversial exhibition will open conversations about our river, how we impact it and in return, how it shapes us.
