Animate Projects is pleased to partner with Grand Union to host \u2018ROAM\u2019. Artists Edd Carr and Sarah Silverwood have each made a short film inspired by the Right to Roam campaign movement, and its vision of \u201ca future countryside in which people not only enjoy the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of nature but serve as its guardians too.\u201d<\/p>\n
This event is an opportunity to see these new films and to hear from both artists about their inspirations and creative processes. Edd Carr and Sarah Silverwood will be joined in a Q&A with writer and campaigner Jon Moses, a member of the Right to Roam movement.<\/p>\n
The films were developed through a period of research, supported by discussions with Jon Mosesand the team at Animate Projects. They reflect on themes of belonging, ancestry, enclosure, privatisation, colonial legacy, access islands, mysticism and witchcraft.<\/p>\n
These rich, mixed media animations have put environmental considerations and sustainability at the forefront of their techniques, and include foraged wood, cyanotype made with boiled oak bark, oak gall ink painting on paper, film developed in oak tannin, and archival imagery.<\/p>\n
Entry to this event is free, but booking is required.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
