Abstract
St Stephen’s Church, Bristol, BS1 1EQ: 25 November - 9 December 2022
Workshops
Shore-to-Shore
Saturday 26 November 2022
11am-3.30pm
A shore-to-shore performance ceremony between AOUS artists in Iqaluit, Nunavut (via Zoom) and in Bristol. We met, discussed the project and our individual and collective responsibilities to land and colonial reckonings. Working with Cleo Lake, Jamie Griffiths and workshop participants, we created a banner in response to the work of Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory and Jamie Griffiths. Their White Liar and the Known Shore: Frobisher and the Queen (2021) was a response to the piece of amphibolite that we returned to Nunavut from Dartford, via Bristol following its theft by Martin Frobisher in 1577.
During the afternoon, we made the banner, prepared gestures and walked a route from St Stephen’s Church towards the river Avon.
Electrical Waste Basket Making
Sunday 27 November 2022
12.30-5pm
Norah Kennedy taught us how to make a traditional ‘wicker’ basket by reusing electrical waste cabling such as laptop, phone, tablet leads, old aerials and ether net and electronic appliance cable.
UnEmpire Me Nail Bar + Hydrophone Gig
Sunday 4 December 2022
1pm-4pm
In the cafe, Nathan Taylor and apprentice, Juste Adomaviciute, ran an ‘UnEmpire Me’ nail bar for personal initiation into un-empiring body and self – one nail at a time.
In the church, Kathy Hinde mixed sounds recorded underwater in Bristol along with sounds from live hydrophones in tanks of harbour water, with submerged stones.
