Bloodland Embrace, an exciting new animation and projection piece, features original artwork by Majid Adin and international collective Kalico Jack. This beautiful animation depicts a story about home and belonging, and how we connect to different people and cultures across borders, even when they are or might feel closed. With a particular spotlight on pan-European friendships, Bloodland Embrace also highlights the experiences of refugees and displaced people seeking safety in Europe.

Presented by award-winning interactive arts studio Invisible Flock and music by composer James Hamilton. Part of Journeys Festival International 2021.
