Their award winning VANLAND project toured a multi-screen converted caravan with young people’s films to village fetes in Devon and Ireland, they’ve exhibited supersize storyboards on train station platforms, screened artist films in pubs and bars across rural Teignbridge, performed over the internet from people’s homes across the world, and toured a mobile table tennis table around unused and unloved parts of 6 British cities.

Blind Ditch members are: Paula Crutchlow, John Levack Drever, Volkhardt Müller and Cat Radford. Find out more about our work at www.blindditch.org
