Event Description
Viewing link will go live on May 9th
Anima Fatima is a series of short art films made by Philip Connaughton and Luca Truffarelli, in collaboration with eight women from Fatima Groups United. The word ‘Anima’ is the Latin term for soul and this work represents these strong, creative individuals, who together form part of the vibrant fabric of Dublin 8.
The works were developed as the culmination of a summer project in 2021 called Dance Uncovered, developed through the Project Potential Programme, and commissioned by Project Arts Centre.
Through this project, dance was taken outside the studio and onto the streets. It was an incredibly positive experience where everyone got to know each other better. Very quickly, and particularly because of the isolating nature of lockdown, it became apparent that there was a strong desire to congregate, talk and dance, and a need for deeper creative expression within the group.
These films are the ideas, images, stories and movements that these women decided to share. A glimpse into the soul of Dublin’s Fatima.
