‘Sally Barton selected the Nine Ladies Stone Circle in Derbyshire. Inspired by the site’s folk traditions, particularly the legend of nine women turned to stone during a Sabbath dance, Barton’s images explore themes of ritual, community, femininity, and dance as a form of resistance. The Stones Are Ours reimagines the stone circles as sites of play and community ritual for children and other locals.’
Echoes: Stone Circles, Community and Heritage
Opening at Stonehenge Visitor Centre on 15 February 2025 until 7 September 2025. This exhibition showcases the work of three emerging artists—Sally Barton, Serena Burgis, and Yuxi Hou—who explore the meanings communities derive from prehistoric stone circles and how these special places resonate with young people today.
