What's On
Saoirse Amira Anis

Anis' practice prioritises radical care, informality and empathy. Her work is informed primarily by Black queer literature, her personal ancestry, and her own body as it moves through the world. She considers the ways in which the body holds ancestral and lived memories - particularly in relation to feelings of guilt, shame and inadequacy.
Her current research delves into parallels that can be drawn between Scottish and Moroccan folklore and rituals, particularly looking at how these are rooted in each country's deep connection to water.
