Arnolfini - est 1961

There will be a preview event with an opportunity to meet artists Angela Charles and Liberty Smith on Friday 13 September, 7pm to 8:30pm.

The film will then be shown on loop across the weekend, 11am to 6pm.

Visual artist Angela Charles shares her story of unexpectedly losing her sight, and her experience of ‘coming out’ as a blind artist after years of hiding it as the self-proclaimed Queen of Bluff. Multiple voices weave narration and description: Angela’s iPhone (Daniel), a philosophising Audio Describer (Christopher Flowers) and Angela’s mentor, the artist Bedwyr Williams. Over the course of the film they interact and respond to Angela as she explores notions of seeing, as she navigates a new creative path, and questions our preconceptions in asking us, ‘What are you looking at?’

A film by Liberty Smith. Presented in partnership with OSR Projects.

Produced by OSR Projects/Angela Charles/Liberty Smith. Featuring Angela Charles. Narrated by Christopher Flowers and Bedwyr Williams. Funded by Arts Council England.

A poster advertsing What are you looking at? featuring the photograph of the artist with their face in a head through the hole board.
