John Slavin: Land of the Ravens
Festival Exhibition
(Thu 6 Oct - Mon 31 Oct)
A multiform exhibition with visual images, film animation, musical soundtrack and live storytelling on a journey of narrative recreation, inspired by the international folk tale Jack and the Two Ravens. The 1979 recording by the renowned storyteller Duncan Williamson of Argyll (1928-2007) was subsequently illustrated in a series of paintings by artist John Slavin, then selected by Christine Martin for film development by animist John McGeoch. The Twa Ravens film is enhanced by the musical interpretation of Jack Evans and members of the Harta music ensemble.
