ABOUT JERICHO - VIDEOS
The walls of Jericho
Artists at work in Jericho in 2002.
The film was made by Martin Lipson and Joe Gualtieri in 2003 for Artweeks, both having then recently completed a video-making course at Oxford Film and Video Makers (now called Film Oxford).
It showcases a number of artists working in various mediums in and around Jericho at the time.
Where we work?
According to the 2001 Census, in Jericho 28% of those working were self-employed, while 18% worked part time. Around 20% were in higher professional occupations compared with 14% for Oxford. We also tend to work nearby: 72% of people worked within five kilometres of their home; 18% went to work on foot, 13% by car and 6% by bike
Where the name Jericho comes from?
The name Jericho is probably taken from the parable of the Good Samaritan. Traditionally the name was given to places where travellers who arrived after the town gates had closed at sunset could find lodgings overnight.
