+ Q&A with the artist and specially made zine.

Co-curated with artist Orla McHardy for aemi, this programme expands and defies interpretations of what is traditionally understood as animation, offering complicated gestures from modest means. The screening – featuring works by Elizabeth Price, Robert Breer, Johan Rijpma, Elisabeth Belliveau, Naoyuki Tsuji, muthi reed, Lilli Carré and Suzan Pitt – explores animation as a model of care and containment, as an unseen infrastructure capable of holding things together. The films selected here offer a mode of thinking, a way of slowing down and paying close attention to time, to a feeling, to a question, to a body.
