Performance | Writing:
Olivia Hemingway has performed some of her written work as a guest of John Hegley at the Betsey Trotwood, Toynbee Hall, Cafe Lux, the Poetry Cafe, Scootercaffè and the Words in Motion tent at the Big Chill Festival. Her written work has contributed to projects with Fuse Art Space and the Barbican. She interviewed notable people in connection to the threat to the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary for the HRI series, then worked with copyrighter Jo Richards / the SHARP Agency to create a poster campaign. Hemingway’s photography series SMALL WORLDS, Lockdown in Meltham involved interviewing people about their experiences of Lockdown, collaborating with Heat Design to create an art poster series with poem-like text to accompany the images. She was then commissioned to write an article for Mental Fight Club: Seeing Small Worlds.
