Chalk Trace<\/em><\/a>
\nStroud Arts Festival
\n06 September 2014 – 05 October 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a child in the 1950s, Ron Cockroft drew a chalk line from his school in Oldham to his home in Chadderton. Chalk Trace commemorates and reanimates his graffiti journey through a now much-changed network of streets. The film was photographed in the original streets of Oldham as they stand today \u2013 over 60 years after Ron\u2019s original graffiti. The street images are individual photographs that were then re-photographed and animated on a 1950s school desk, via a mix of HD video and 16mm film. The soundtrack recounts the street names that Ron journey\u2019s through.<\/p>\n

Esther Johnson<\/a>\u00a0works at the intersection of artist moving image and documentary. Her poetic portraits focus on marginal worlds, revealing resonant stories that may otherwise remain hidden or ignored. Work has been exhibited internationally in 40 countries, and has also featured on television and radio. In 2012 Johnson won the Philip Leverhulme Prize in Performing and Visual Arts for young scholars. She is a Reader in Media Arts at Sheffield Hallam University.
