RIGHT OF WAY (SOLD OUT)
About
PLUS Q+A WITH DIRECTOR DAN GUTHRIEWe’re told we have a ‘right to roam’ but does that apply to everyone equally? Right of Way is a new feature-length programme that mixes stunning new artists’ commissions with historical archive films that reflect on access and inclusion in the UK countryside, inspired by the foundation of the National Trails. These protected landscapes were created with a vision to ‘connect people to the rural landscape’. But what happens when Black, Asian and other ethnically diverse people enter these landscapes? How can our natural spaces be homes to protest, trespassing, activism and raves?
The new commissions from artists Dan Guthrie, Ufuoma Essi and Arjuna Neuman interrupt and challenge the enduring perception of the rural idyll as an untouched and unchanging space.
