Blood and Gold | EAF
Erin was digital producer for the live stream and video content for Art Late, EAF’s unique annual culture crawl exploring exhibitions across the city, that returned in a new digital form for their 17th edition in 2021.
BBC broadcaster Gemma Cairney presented two evenings of artists’ talks, hands-on live workshops and one-off performances – celebrating the rich programme of visual art across the capital for Edinburgh Art Festival.
One element of the programme was Blood and Gold, a critically acclaimed storytelling performance by Scottish-Kenyan author and artist Mara Menzies.A powerful exploration of the legacy of colonialism and slavery, weaving together myth, magic, and personal history.
This performance features Gateway by Sequoia Barnes and In guise of Land by Matthew Arthur Williams, two commissions at Johnston Terrace Wildlife Garden, presented as part of Edinburgh Art Festival’s Associate Artist Programme curated by Tako Taal.
