ODDVENT

Oddvent was created for the lockdown Christmas - an online advent calendar. Each day a new door was discovered, which opened to a mini experience. 24 artists collaborated under Gemma’s direction. Photographers, performers, immersive artists, fine artists, musicians etc.

The doors revealed festive objects from baubles to snowmen to pomegranates.

Over the time of the experience, we descended into the darkness of the longest night. We met the Queen of the Underworld. And we returned.

‘How sweet it is to feel the sunlight on my skin’
(Alcestis, Euripedes)
