In-Conversation with Alberta Whittle, Cat Dunn, Dr. Jill Sutherland, and Dr. Catherine Spencer

This video features a profound and insightful post-premiere conversation with Alberta Whittle, Cat Dunn, Dr. Jill Sutherland, and Dr. Catherine Spencer. The discussion delves into the theme of dual identity, which is the main focus of the "Crafted Selves: The Unfinished Conversation" exhibition.
Crafted Selves: The Unfinished Conversation
Curated by Cat Dunn and programmed by Fife Contemporary, the exhibition showcases the work of thirteen Scotland-based artists exploring dual identities in their work.
Featured Artists:
Adil Iqbal, Alberta Whittle, Ashanti Harris, Eden Dodd, Emelia Kerr Beale, Harvey Dimond, Joy Baek, Li Huang, Rae-Yen Song, Sara Pakdel-Cherry, Sekai Machache, Tilda Williams-Kelly, and Viv Lee.
The exhibition explores what it means to have a dual identity and how this sense of self is reflected in contemporary Scottish craft. The artists use a variety of mediums, including sculpture, painting, ceramics, textiles, installation, moving image films, and creative writing, to express their multifaceted identities, whether they stem from cultural heritage, sexuality, disability, or gender.
As part of the exhibition, the Scottish premier of Alberta Whittle’s film "The Axe Forgets, But The Tree Remembers" was screened at The Byre Theatre, St Andrews. The film highlights the experiences of the Windrush generation and their descendants, weaving together personal stories and historical narratives.
Join us in this engaging conversation as we explore these themes and gain deeper insights into the works and thoughts of these remarkable artists.
