Immersive black cab installation by Dante or Die in which a documentary film is projected across the windows as five taxi drivers navigate five UK towns.
Dante or Die are bringing Driving Home to Pearson Park this weekend, from Friday 6 November to Sunday 8 November. It's an immersive installation that turns a black cab into a cinema: you climb into the passenger seat and watch a 20-minute documentary film projected across the windows while the taxi sits in the park.
The film follows five taxi drivers as they navigate towns and cities shaped by shift and divide. Through spatial audio, cinematic footage and interviews, it threads together their personal stories of migration, identity and what 'home' means across five UK towns. Because you're sitting in the back of a cab while you watch, the whole thing feels like you're just another passenger on the journey.
The setting adds its own layer to the experience. Pearson Park, between Princes Avenue and Beverley Road, dates back to the early 1860s when Zachariah Pearson, then Mayor of Hull, gifted a stretch of land to the local Board of Health. It still holds onto its Victorian grandeur, with a play area, the cupola from the city's old Town Hall and a conservatory greenhouse.
