Sunderland arc was established in May 2002 to fulfill the aspirations of the Government’s Urban Task Force and promote urban renaissance. The arc’s masterplan for the former Vaux Brewery site, set above the River Wear on the northern edge of Sunderland City Centre is designed to bring the City back to the river and the river back to the City.

Sunderland arc commissioned a programme of temporary art interventions to challenge and engage the public. ‘HoBo’ was a temporary projection installation on Galleys Gill and is a transient series of images from reclaimed US military air vehicles, projected onto Sunderland’s wastelands .
