CIRCUIT is delighted to announce a new collaboration with LUX Scotland made possible by the new British Council arts fund Connections Through Culture.
Ka Mua Ka Muri - Walking Backwards Into the Future explores artistic strategies for sustainable futures through moving image practice. Through a series of film screenings and online conversations in April 2025, the project brings together artists from Aotearoa and Scotland to ask;
How can contemporary moving image technologies
activate ancestral knowledge?
sustain connections to land and home amid displacement?
inspire new models of activism and resilience?
Further details of the programme will be announced in the coming months. We look forward to welcoming audiences in Scotland and Aotearoa, as well as online participants around the world, to this exciting new series.
