Rocca Gutteridge
Institute of Walking Appreciation
Following on from Hamish Fulton's project,'21 Days in the Cairngorms' Rocca has been commissioned to build a new website exploring the many facets of walking – Walkingand…. Art, Politics, Parades, Love, Literature... you name it, she's covering it. If you have a passion / interest / or idea for Walking then Rocca would love to hear from you- rocca[a]roccagutteridge.co.uk
Rocca Gutteridge's artistic and curatorial work is informed by communication, interaction and participation. She is interested in arts potential to act as a catalyst for social and political transformation and has a sustained interest in developing unique strategies for engagement and community participation. Her research has diverse and varied outputs, often finding herself practically exploring the crossover between artist, writer, curator, DJ, facilitator. Rocca currently runs the research project, Artachat. Based on the model of a radio talk show, Artachat utilises social technologies and face-to-face discussions to create new, inclusive dialogues between artists and audiences.
Rocca also collaborates with Deveron Arts in our Walkachats project and the UK Border Walk.
