Aqsa Arif will talk about her creative practice and recent solo exhibition Raindrops of Rani, followed by a screening of some of her recent film work. The event offers a unique insight into Arif’s multidisciplinary approach, which blends moving image, sculpture, printmaking, and photography to explore themes of identity, belonging, and cultural memory.
Through an intimate sharing of her works, Arif will reflect on how personal and inherited histories shape her cinematic language, drawing on folklore, mythology, and speculative futures. Raindrops of Rani, her most recent body of work, offers a dreamlike meditation on hybridity and diasporic longing, centring the experiences of a mother daughter relationship that exists between worlds, timelines, and cultural legacies.
The event will open up a conversation around the intersections of artist moving image and traditional filmmaking, as well as the collaborative and often nonlinear ways of working as an artist post-art school.
There will be time for Q&A after the talk and screenings.
