Walking piece
Sweet Waters is a participatory walking project in Bath and along the River Avon exploring legacies of British slave-ownership through performative walks and creative dialogues. The project connects the triangular trade with the water cycle, addressing themes of heritage, memory, and history via embodied experiences and an interview clip from Sarah Connolly and Richard White.

Sweet Waters is walking with legacies of British slave-ownership, revealing reluctant heritage. Water. Life. Trade.
A cycle of participatory performative walks and creative dialogues in Bath and along the River Avon.
From rain to river to sea to sky and back: walking-with heritage, memories, silences, absences, stories, relics…..
making the return thinking with our whole bodies .. shame, race, exile, sugar, tobacco, cotton, war…

An ongoing project.

Sweet Waters: starting points uses a clip from an interview Sarah Connolly did with Richard White. The video offers an overview of the project ideas in particular the mashing of the ‘triangular trade’ with a memory of the watercycle. Sarah did the interview as part of an Avon Stories podcast walking a section of the River Avon on the edge of Bristol.
