NO NEW WORLDS 🇺🇸 Mount Batten, Plymouth, Devon

This artwork was created by three Devon artists - Léonie Hampton, Laura Hopes and Martin Hampton - as a contribution to the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower's departure from Plymouth. It comprises 3,723 LED lights and 'invites viewers to ask complex questions about themselves, the damaged planet and the legacy of the pivotal journeys made by the Mayflower and its companion ship the Speedwell - which took on water after departing the UK and never made the pilgrimage to America'. The wording is a reminder that while America may have been a new world to Europeans it had of course been occupied by indigenous people for thousands of years.

The New World is a term for the majority of Earth's Western Hemisphere, specifically the Americas. The term gained prominence in the early 16th century, during Europe's Age of Discovery, shortly after the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci concluded that America represented a new continent, and subsequently published his findings in a pamphlet he titled Mundus Novus. This realization expanded the geographical horizon of classical European geographers, who had thought the world consisted of Africa, Europe, and Asia, collectively now referred to as the Old World, or Afro-Eurasia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World

Mount Batten is a 24-metre tall outcrop of rock on a 600-metre peninsula in Plymouth Sound, Devon, England, named after Sir William Batten, MP and Surveyor of the Navy
