Travelling Dialogues Curated Weekend

To coincide with our GENERATION project Are you LOCATIONALIZED, Travelling Dialogues is a curated weekend of speakers and performance. Taking place across the two project sites, the islands of Skye and North Uist, it will provide an opportunity to open up the discourse around the works created by Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan. A participatory experience that will offer a programme of events throughout the weekend, Travelling Dialogues aspires to offer a unique, unusual and rewarding interaction with the artworks – as participants will be encouraged to embrace the location, the artwork and the themes of the weekend.

Travelling between Tatham and O’Sullivan artworks, spanning two Hebridean islands, will be an integral aspect of the event, with movements interspersed with performances, talks and moments for convivial exchange. Participants are invited to join perambulatory bus tours of Skye and Uist with contributions from guest speakers revealing aspects of the psychogeography of the passing landscape. Throughout the event, participants will be encouraged to engage in critical conversations with each other, the guest contributors and the artists themselves.
