I am back from the travel to India. It has been a very rewarding activity, and I am very satisfied with the outcomes. The other participants in the project also have achieved their goals:
- several new poems and writings have been created by the workshop participants from both the UK and India, with the theme of environmental change at rivers, linked to spirituality and cultural heritage
- several paintings have been produced in this context, about river goddesses and impact on nature.
My own work has been done in the following areas:
- recording activities of the group in the workshops and interviews, by photography, video clips, GPS tracks.
- experimenting with immersive recording, using a head-worn camera and in-ear microphones, for a subjective recording of experiences.
I have organised the setting up of a live video-conference during the stay, linking our activities there in Gujarat with activities in Yorkshire (Sagar Street Gallery, Castleford). Further, I have setup and updated a development blog in which I reported about our daily activities related to this project: http://gujarat-yorkshire.blogspot.com/
I have given access to all the material I collected to the International Faculty, for use in their marketing of the International Week. I also have published an International Reflection and have provided material for a news release for the INN public web site.
