==============================
STREET SHRINES PROJECT:
Artists putting or performing with shrines on Bath's Georgian streets
Our beautiful city nestled among the hills
Gathers emissions and heat, creating poor air quality.
Changing our bodies from those of Roman Gods
Until we struggle to breathe, and cannot climb those hills.
This piece is a comment on the damage we are continuing to do, both to ourselves and our environment.
The Street Shrine project aims:
-to distract from Bath's 'beige city' image
-to attempt to use street spaces not even thought about
-to make work that is discrete at first glance
-and also to make impact work by choosing a site/object that might be recurring or repeating the same work in many different locations
