Roam artists announced

We are pleased to announce the artists selected for Roam: Edd Carr, Grace Lee and Sarah Taylor Silverwood. They will be making new animated work in response to Right to Roam’s vision of “a future countryside in which people not only enjoy the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of nature but serve as its guardians too”.

Each artist will undertake a period of research and development where they will engage broadly with the subject. They will be developing their ideas through discussions with Right to Roam’s Jon Moses.

Roam is our third commissioning programme aimed at early career animation artists. As with our previous projects PLANTING and Mortal, the Roam artists will each receive production and editorial support from Animate as they develop and produce a short animation. The films will be shown publicly and online from Summer 2026.
