(English) Book signing at Photoeye, NM
On Saturday 11th May from 4 to 6pm I will be presenting Atomic Ed at Photoeye, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I will be signing copies and informally discussing the work.
Comprising a rich mix of visual material: archival and personal photographs, government documents, objects from The Black Hole’s final liquidation sale, the book presents Grothus’ fascinating journey from working at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to becoming an outspoken antinuclear activist.
Immersive performances in the CULTVR dome
As part of this year’s festival we presented our most recent immersive shows at the CULTVR Dome. Video trailer here.
Commissioned by Ffotogallery to premiere at Diffusion 2019, Juniper explores how sound and moving image merge within live performance. This unique show sees Slowly Rolling Camera perform their critically acclaimed third album Juniper in its entirety, accompanied by a visual score created by 4Pi. Audiences will be enveloped by the expansive jazz grooves, trip-hop and cinematic soundscapes of Juniper whilst transported to barren and busy environments within the UK, Norway and Finland.
Liminality is a live immersive contemporary dance piece developed as part of the UK India Year of Culture and made possible in collaboration with Society for Arts and Technology in Montréal (SAT). Dancers move from industrial landscapes to coastal environments in Wales and India, highlighting the similarities these two countries share, and their changing relationship.
Fusing contemporary dance, music and innovative 360º filmmaking into a collision of cultures and technology, Liminality is a snapshot into the constant cycle of transition and change.This project is a co-production between 4Pi Productions and Society of Arts and Technology and is supported by Coreo Cymru, Danceworx, British Council Wales and Wales Arts International.
Atomic Ed at Diffusion Festival
I presented my most recent project Atomic Ed as part of ‘A Woman’s Work’ at Diffusion Festival 2019. The symposium took place at the CULTVR Dome at the Wales Millennium Centre where I shared a panel with Diffusion artist Alina Kisina and Cherie Federico from Aesthetica.
Diffusion is a month long festival of exhibitions, discussions, screenings, performances, events and celebrations in both physical and virtual spaces and places celebrated in Cardiff, Wales.

Avanzando hacia delante, mirando hacia atrás
Avanzando hacia delante, mirando hacia atrás (Moving forward, looking back) es un proyecto documental basado en la identidad, la memoria e inspirado por un viaje a lo largo del Viejo Camino Español en el suroeste de Estados Unidos.
Extensos desiertos, escarpadas montañas y en ocasiones manantiales naturales conforman los paisajes que recorre el Viejo Camino Español; una antigua ruta comercial que unía los puestos coloniales de Santa Fe en Nuevo México con Los Ángeles en California, atravesando Colorado, Arizona, Utah y Nevada. En 1829 el comerciante Antonio Armijo se aventuró hacia el oeste con un grupo de 60 hombres y 100 mulas consolidando esta ruta que recorrí yo misma en 2014, no para intercambiar mantas y sarapes por caballos y mulas, sino para conversar con los descendientes españoles a lo largo del camino y compartir sus historias.
El proyecto presenta una colección de retratos y entrevistas que reflejan cómo las huellas de la cultura española se han fusionado con las tradiciones locales y han contribuido al desarrollo de la identidad de los pueblos y las ciudades modernas en los estados de Nuevo México y California.

Hong Kong, October 2019
Thousands of protesters took the streets in Hong Kong to mark the 5th anniversary of the Umbrella Movement and the 70th anniversary of the National Day of the People’s Republic of China (that commemorates the formal establishment of China on the 1st of October 1949.)
Hong Kong has been celebrating this event for the last two decades, but lots has changed in recent times. Protests have been declared illegal and state celebrations have been cancelled but thousands of people ventured into the streets to voice their concerns once more.
