TEARS | OV live with band member Lori E Allen & Lottie Poulet
As part of MONICA SJÖÖ-the time is NOW and its overdue! Linda wanted to work in Sjöö's spirit by embracing inclusivie, shared knowledge and art as activism, bringing art to the streets. She has invited TEARS |OV to produce a live-score for the performative Memorial Ritual which honours the first 12 women accused, tortured and killed as witches in Småland 1550-1626.
She has also co-created workshops by inviting artists Rachel Fallon and Sam Hodge to re-create their works by opening it up to an all inclusive participartory experience. The exhibition ended 10th September 2022
Supported by The Swedish Arts Comittee/Konstnärsnämnden

Rachel Fallon collaborated with us at a distance from Ireland. Instructions for the Aprons of Power where decided by Rachel, and I suggested places in London on how the performative action should happen. You can check her work out here: Rachel Fallon ︎
Below is some images from our work with artist Sam Hodge, a mudlarker and printmaker. Sam is also trained in conservation. This workshop was called colour of place, which literally means finding anything in the near surrounding which could be used to make pigment of. We found things in the Thames river alongside greens in the community garden.
This was then used to make prints / painting on fabric in a collective manner.
