(Cont’d from 15 December)
Akima McPherson (AM): Charlotte and Mal, I have enjoyed sharing this space with you the past two weeks. Thank you for obliging me. As we conclude this week, I am eager to learn about your individual experiences of sharing the work there in London. How have your audiences responded?
Mal Woolford (MW): It is important to us that the work has a resonance in Guyana and isn’t some London-centric fantasy. Having an extended conversation with you is very much part of keeping ourselves accountable.
We reached the point last month where we knew we needed to show the work so that we can shape its progress. A quick pop-up show if you like, to see the images larger and rubbing up against each other, really feel how they resonate and what they seem to be communicating. Having a good number of people from all backgrounds come and explore them has been so valuable.
