Oxford Castle – 950 years - Different roads lead to the same castle has been created by sound and light artists Ross Ashton (Projection Studio) and Karen Monid (Sound Artist).  This project is a collaboration between OPT and TORCH, part of the Humanities division at the University of Oxford with researchers, alongside local historians and people from across the City bringing their ideas and stories together to create this unique full scale projection.
