Liverpo ol-based artist and writer Roger Hill was nearing the end of a journey alo ng the great Silk Road route across Asia in 2017 when a safety failure on a ferry in Baku led him to near-drowning in the Caspian Sea.\n\nRoger had gathered a wealth of cultural material along his trans-continental journey from China to the Caspian and uses it\, in association with sound-artist Andrew PM Hunt and video producer Danny Kilbride\, to give some meaning to his experience in a specially installed space at The Arts Centre.\n\n“I felt that there was some connection between all the spaces I had encounte red along the way – landscapes\, mosques\, cities\, expo’s\, “ says Hill\, “and the narrow space into which I fell that night. It was though an experience which realized some of my deepest childhood fears.” The s tory of his progress\, and eventual rescue\, is the main strand of the pre sentation\, but audiences to “The Fall” will find themselves surrounde d by the sights and sounds of Asia as Roger’s story unfolds.\n\nThe inst allation will be in the Arts Centre from 1st of March alongside a photogra phic exhibition by Roger’s transgender “other”\, Mandy Romero\, call ed “Strange Places and How to Survive” which is a record of her transg ender progress through the often illiberal republics of Central Asia.\n\nR OGER HILL\n\nRoger Hill is a freelance director\, performer\, arts and edu cation consultant\, writer\, lecturer and broadcaster.
