Accelerate Session: Mortal

For Dying Matters Awareness Week, our Mortal commissioned artists Ben Faircloth, Mariana Leal, and Eilidh Nicoll are taking some time out from production for a conversation with social anthropologist Dr Hannah Rumble. The discussion will explore how differing perspectives on death and dying can be visually represented and thoughts and questions raised as the artists have developed their projects. BSL interpretation and closed captions will be provided.

Tuesday 6 May, 18:00- 19:00 UK time, online.

Accelerate Sessions 2025

In January we did an open call inviting people to propose ideas for our 2025 Accelerate Sessions. Many thanks to everyone who sent us ideas. We’re looking forward to working with Dominica Harrison, Kate Jessop, Mary Martins and Carla MacKinnon to put together sessions that will explore…Queer stories, non-fiction, African animation, imagination and empathy.

The first Session in the series is on 19 June. Holly Summerson will be talking to Lydia Beilby, Réka Bucsi, Isabel Herguera, and Lily Ash Sakula about collaborative, collective animation practice, their reasons for working in this way, and practical approaches and challenges in creating collectively. More details soon.
