Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
This closing session will be a space for reflection and feedback. We can discuss ways we can share what we’ve learned and explored with our wider communities. We can talk about if we want to do more sessions and /or projects together.
