For the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad, Imagineer created a 10-metre high puppet of Lady Godiva who travelled from Coventry to London powered by 50 cyclists.
The Godiva Awakes project has left a powerful legacy of collaboration in the city. Imagineer worked with 17 local and regional engineering companies to make Godiva a reality. These collaborations have led to a series of developing projects that explore work at the intersection of engineering and art.
Godiva continues to tour and to witness events in and around Coventry, and played a valuable role in securing Coventry its City of Culture status.
We hope that Godiva will take up residence in the Daimler Powerhouse, becoming a visitor attraction for the City.
Godiva Awakes was made possible by the generous support of the following organisations:
Arts Council England – Artist Taking The Lead Award
Coventry City Council
Medwell Hyde
Coventry Building Society
The Garfield Weston Foundation
The May 29th Charity
Jaguar Land Rover
MIRA
Composite Creations
The Premier Group
Coventry University
