Rites of Way

From Silkthreads

Rites of Way was a performance piece created to be part of the linked exhibitions, Quest: the Artist as Pilgrim at OVADA, Oxford and Pilgrimage: a Sacred Journey at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.

This performance pilgrimage started in OVADA and progressed through the city to the Ashmolean, the performance leader and the participants took part in actions that related to works in the OVADA exhibition, objects in the Ashmolean exhibition and made reference to aspects of Oxford itself.

This was done by making reference to rituals witnessed by the artist during fifteen month long journey along the Silk Road.
