Artist Mari Katayama creates hand-sewn sculptures and photographs that prompt conversations and challenge misconceptions about our bodies. Born with the developmental condition congenital tibial hemimelia, Katayama chose to have her legs amputated at the age of nine. Her wearable sculptures, which also feature in her images, often include limbs, hands and embellished hearts. In this short film, we visit Katayama’s at her studio in Japan and hear about how she uses everyday materials that she finds around her – including her own body, clothes and newspaper clippings – to make her sculptures and images. As she says, 'I use materials that anyone can get anywhere. I think that the needle and the thread are the strongest tools.' Subscribe for weekly films: http://goo.gl/X1ZnEl

A live exhibition exploring the relationship of storytelling and contemporary art through the use of movement, dance and choreography.

Within her work, Jasleen Kaur makes installations by gathering and remaking objects from everyday life to renegotiate tradition and agreed myths, exploring cultural memory and political belonging. While family and community are present in Kaur’s work, she is most interested in how these intimacies meet wider sociopolitical structures. In this film Kaur reflects on her upbringing in Glasgow, where growing up in family-run hardware stores and cash and carries shaped her approach to thinking through objects and materials. She also examines histories impacted by colonialism, asking, ‘Who's doing the writing of history? Who's doing the retelling of it? Which things get remembered and which things do not?’ Subscribe for weekly films: http://goo.gl/X1ZnEl
