Ten years walking and asking questions

For the past 10 years I have been hosting walks creatively exploring hidden, obscured and often uncomfortable histories, legacies of slave-ownership and colonialism. In July our book: Breaking the Dead Silence: Engaging with the Legacies of Empire and Slave-Ownership in Bath and Bristol’s Memoryscapes was published by Liverpool University Press. Here I set out some background to the book, and my approach to walking arts through a sketch of a recent Heritage Open Days walk at Bath Spa Unive [...]

rikakrithara.gr

Rika Krithara is a visual artist born in Athens, Greece. Her work includes video installations, sculpture and photography. Field work in remote mountain locations has been an integral part of her creative process. The artist is in awe before the mountains, which are her creative obsession. In her 2002 work for the Averoff Museum exhibition, she produced a large scale installation titled Ravine, a double projection on two screens forming a narrow, claustrophobic passage with rapid projection of rocky mountain walls and water. In Ravine, the arrival at the passage reach the symbolic difficulty of the passing from one world to another.

On this weblog, I'm writing about this project in Dutch (which is the language spoken in the district of Hellendoorn).
