New footage has been released which shows the Knife Angel being installed in Carlisle.
The angel is a huge statue made from 100,000 seized knives and will be on display in Cumbria for the next two months – first in Carlisle in December 2021 and then in Barrow in January.
The sculpture was created by the British Ironworks Centre to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour and will be hosted in Carlisle’s city centre pedestrianised area. Cumbria County Council, Cumbria Police, Carlisle City Council and Barrow Borough Council have worked to bring the unique artwork to the county.
