'Rituals of the Roadways' explores an imagined timeline where the deep connection between labour and ritual, once central to agricultural life, thrives in a contemporary world.
Focusing on the concept of 'Roadside Magic' (the use of plant knowledge, magic, and ritual as essential elements in vehicle repair and maintenance) and drawing inspiration from the South West's rich history of folk celebrations and customs documented in the archives at The Box, the work presents a variety of fictional vehicular rituals and practitioners, reweaving celebration and magic back into the everyday.
