About This Event
I AM FROM REYKJAVIK presents Sonia Hughes arriving in Glasgow to discuss her experiences living abroad and is held at Merchant City Festival venues on August 2nd; no tickets are required for this event.
Sonia Hughes will arrive (in town) to see how it is here, to see if she could feel at ease and at home amongst us. I am from Reykjavik is part sculpture, part ceremony, part protest. Building a small house in a public space, four strokes of paint sprayed on the asphalt form a square in the middle of the city. For seven straight hours, these marked boundaries will be the scene of an unusual encounter. Surrounded by plants, a framed family photo, a cup of tea ready to be made, and maybe some music, slowly and calmly, Sonia Hughes sets up a space for herself. Where do you come from? What brings you here? What makes up your home? Simple as they may be, Sonia Hughes’ questions can seem almost impudent. Her performances, often involving some kind of participation, address identity through an open-ended, conversational approach. Poetic and unpretentious, her works are there to connect people. 📅 Saturday 1 & Sunday 2 August 📍 Outdoor Performance
