THE Aberdeenshire based arts company Deveron Projects, in collaboration with Counterpoint Arts will host an event linking London, Huntly and Gaza on 25 May at Tate Modern.
Artists' May Murad (Gaza) and Rachel Ashton (Scotland) collaborated digitally throughout 2017 to plan and execute two 2018 'Slow Marathons' in the places they come from.
The two artists worked with image and video, Skype and Whatsapp, sketches and text.
Now a split screen, short film showing the artists in their two homes will be shown in a Tate Exchange event which is part of Tate Modern and Counterpoints Arts workshop series, Who Are We? Art, Migration and the Production of Democracy.
