Bio:
Beverley Bennett is an artist-filmmaker whose work revolves around the possibilities of drawing, performance and collaboration. Her practice is connected multiple ways of making. The first of these is a concern with the importance of ‘gatherings’ to denote a methodology that differs from the more hierarchical model of the workshop; one person leading and sharing information with participants taking part in the activities.
Bennett's work has been shown nationally and internationally; venues include the British Film Institute (BFI), London, Third Horizon Film Festival, Miami, CinemaAfrica Film Festival, Stockholm; Encounters Short Film Festival, Bristol and National Gallery of Jamaica, Kingston.
