The Night the Mountains Moved (2020)

Location: Ground Floor Exhibition Space, Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre

Anna Brownsted’s installation responds to a project bringing together ambassadors for Blood Cancer UK and stem cell researchers working at the Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre. Through a series of stop-motion animation workshops held via Zoom during the Covid-19 lockdowns, participants developed hand-cut animation sequences exploring their experiences of ‘the unknown’ in relation to living with blood cancer, the challenges of research and the global uncertainties of Covid-19.
