Portrails -Visual Anthropology screening, 2nd June

Portrayal – a depiction of someone or something in a work of art or literature; a picture.
Trail – a mark or series of signs or objects left behind by the passage of someone or something.

We are very pleased to be screening a selection of visual anthropology projects created by final year students. Students touched on a remarkable diversity of themes this year with a strong common focus on the portrayal of groups or particular people. This year there will be four prizes, including a new award presented by Dr Virginia Pitts from the School of Arts, and an audience award, to be voted for by members of the public.

The event, celebrating student creativity and engagement, will take place between 13:30 and 18:45 on Thursday 2nd June in Grimond Lecture Theatre 3. To give you a taste of the diversity of films that will be on offer, please view the trailer.

For more information, please contact Dr Mike Poltorak.
