Over five nights in September, Devon-based art collective Blind Ditch will complete their contemporary portrait of Exeter with a series of multi-platform performances in an empty office space. Combining live video streaming from city centre homes, live performance both in the space and on the city’s streets, and interaction with an online audience, This City’s Centre 3: Here, Now invites us to discover more about how daily life in a British provincial city shapes us, our behaviour and our dreams for change.
