CIRCUIT, the platform dedicated to supporting Moving Image Artists, is about to release Otherwise Worlding, a new reader on artists’ animation featuring essays, conversations, and a playthrough of an interactive game.
CIRCUT ask How can animation in contemporary moving image practices be critical of the commercial demand for spectacle and efficiency? How can it serve as a tool for worldbuilding and re-imagining history beyond imperialist, white, cis, male-dominated narratives?
No small questions. To hear about the reader and the opening event Frances caught up with CIRCUIT director Mark Williams on Various Artists.

Anto Yeldezian is a Tāmaki Makaurau based artist of Armenian heritage. His latest exhibition, Arena, is currently showing at Coastal Signs Gallery.
The works in Arena often play with bright and bold colours - often being mixed medium, with images, sketches and painting superimposed onto one another. Coastal Signs writes that in Anto’s paintings, ‘[. . . ] images from a myriad of sources are layered on top of one another and synthesized, very adeptly, into painterly tableau. 'The works in Arena are, as the title suggests, often organised around game boards – such as Snakes & Ladders and Noughts & Crosses – and representations of contested territories, both fictional and otherwise’.
Beth had a kōrero with Anto about Arena and his artistic process
