Free to attend

Alice in Wasteland, Leeds Animation Workshop

postponed

Join us at Minginish Community Hall for an ATLAS community meal, kids cyborg ‑making workshop and a screening of ​‘Alice in Wasteland’ – a short film by Leeds Animation Workshop.

Kids big and small, bring along a bunch of old recyclables; cardboard, cartons, and plastics – and transform them into cybernetic beings. ATLAS will provide materials and facilitation. Bring along a parent or guardian too.

We’ll be serving soups and cakes a la team ATLAS, and bread from the Skye Bakehouse – all made with CLIMAVORE recipes. Feel free to bring a dish along but this is by no means mandatory.


August 2020 — September 2021

Dàn Fianais or Protest Poem is a film-portrait of Skye and Lochalsh and some of its inhabitants – human and otherwise, by artist Andrew Black. It was made with over sixty people with connections to Skye and Lochalsh – sharing the past and imagining the future – and commissioned in partnership with Skye Climate Action.

The film was made throughout the last year of the COVID pandemic, during an unfolding climate crisis, and at a point where the effects of capitalism and imperialism are being reckoned with globally. The film reflects on ways of being here that might feel lost though still within the reach of living memory – as well as those that endure – to suggest multiple possible ways forward.
