Part of the Oxford week in Bonn, this trip was an  opportunity to explore how I could develop the project towards touring it in other European countries.
How do I do the project in a country I do not speak the language?

It was a difficult experience; I was not well prepared as I was invited to join the venue last minute and I had not investigated  the location of the venue.
Wonderful  travelling time with artists Diana Bell and Feng Ho.





              

Oxford Castle - 14 & 21 May 2011

Oxford Castle, the ghostly neighbourhood...

Ann Rapstoff and myself  had two public art events in this location. Both times the experience was the same, bad weather and no people. 
The good news is that I managed to recruit some interviewees and most of all had a lovely time with Ann.
