A Vital Connection is Made with Zoe Toolan

Walk and talk through the countryside in search of a phone signal, to hear a specially created online playlist centred around the theme of loneliness. Then pay homage to the community vibe of the 90s rave scene by dancing together. And A Vital Connection is Made celebrates the power of both human and internet connection to bring us together.

Zoe is an artist with one foot in the conceptual, one foot in the visual and one foot in everything in-between. Her work centres around live art and social practices, with an inherent sense of unpredictability, discussion, fun, togetherness and ephemerality.

About Od Arts Festival

Od Arts Festival returns this May, bringing exhibitions, performances, film and workshops by local and international artists to not-so-sleepy Somerset. New and specially-sited artworks will pop up around the villages of East Coker and West Coker, in cafes, halls, houses, chapels and fields, and also online for a special digital programme.

Devised before the hiatus of the global pandemic, the guiding theme for the festival of ‘Alone with Everybody’, explores loneliness. A programme of playful, experimental and performative artworks will probe different aspects of aloneness, and ask visitors to discuss how it might be liberating as well as difficult to be alone.
