Performance | Mercedes Azpilicueta: Fire on the Mountain, Light on the Hill

Collective event

22nd August 25

PAST EVENT: This was part of the EAF25 programme.

As part of her EAF25 exhibition Fire on the Mountain, Light on the Hill, leading visual and performance artist Mercedes Azpilicueta came together with artist and choreographer Janice Parker to create a new performance.

Azpilicueta’s performance drew together the themes of the exhibition with Collective’s site on Calton Hill, referencing stories of protest and political expression connected to the hill and its viewpoints. The performative journey unfolded through a series of choreographed gestures and embodied movements that take inspiration from the struggles and resistance of women, real and fictional, across time.
