CORNERS of Europe in Blyth
Our first CORNERS event was in South East Northumberland from 9th - 22nd May 2016, where many of the artists who visited the region as part of the North East England Xpedition earlier this year returned to present their projects, working with local people to reveal hidden stories and draw threads between communities across Europe. We premiered two new projects at this event, both co-produced by D6: [Voiceover], a collaboration between Julie Myers (UK), Lucyna Kolendo (Poland) and Bojan Mucko (Croatia), is a series of mapping workshops and live radio broadcast that explore the social, industrial and environmental history of neighbourhoods across Europe; and Safari Here, a collaboration between Maria Anastassiou (UK), Isabella Mongelli (Italy) and Milos Tomic (Serbia), asks audiences to rediscover their town through an alternative travel agency and guided tour.
