Film screening and Artist Talk: Polaris

With Yunior Aguiar Perdomo

Organised by Timespan Museum. Further details and bookings from their website and Eventbrite. Part of their Solstice Festival 'Everyone Blames the Weather'

Join artist Yunior Aguiar Perdomo for a screening and discussion of Polaris, an animation exploring the cultural rituals and routines that keep migrant communities in Perth, Scotland, connected to their cultures of origin. The film was developed through interviews with individuals, families and first-generation migrant groups. The work forms a partial record of the continuity of cultural traditions within the city, told from personal and intimate perspectives.

The work builds a parallel between these practices of cultural connection and the North Star, a traditional navigational guide for those travelling through unfamiliar routes. Research material gathered during the project appears as text alongside an astronomical representation of the North Star.
