Residencies usually have a timeframe. Michael Bowdidge's enduring attachment to x-church however has led us to think that the experience of working there never goes away so we now actively seek to keep our residents attached. The SARC group embodies this but so too does Live Collage and it has a wonderful knack of portraying life in and around x-church
It started with a few digital collages Michael made from photographs Slumgothic Teenage Art Project member Fez took at our first festival Drum for Syria in 2013. There are now over 300 collages and the number of people providing source material has expanded considerably. After Festival x-24 2016 we formed the Live Collage Working Group and this now has 70 members.
