Document Ankur Arts: Representing Others - Getting it Right
Sat 11 October 2014
Are you an artist or aspiring documentary filmmaker with a passion for making work about Human Rights issues? Are you interested in the connection between art and actuality, especially in challenging circumstances, or as part of human rights campaigns?
Ankur Arts invites you to an open discussion event with photographer Alexandra Fazzina, documentary filmmakers May Abdalla and Sean McAllister, journalist Billy Briggs and a representative from Amnesty International Scotland.
You can hear first hand accounts of the practicalities, challenges and the ethics of working in conflict zones, or on campaigns to highlight social injustice and other human rights struggles.
Join us for what promises to be a stimulating evening of shared experience and exploratory conversation on the important question of how we know what's going on in the world.
Ankur Productions is an award-winning arts organisation with a remit to increasing diversity in the arts in Scotland. Ankur acts as a catalyst, advocate, producer and champion for diverse arts in Scotland by enabling artists from diverse backgrounds to be ambitious and by cultivating audiences with a curiosity for a wide variety of artistic work.
Following the event, Ankur welcomes you to join them for an informal gathering in the back room of the CCA Terrace Bar between 7 and 8pm.
