See It, Say It, Draw It

This film explores themes of identity and cultural transmission through the way we perceive and interact with our surroundings, highlighting the role of imagination in this process. Through the practice of drawing ethnographic objects at the Manchester Museum, it reflects on how we gain knowledge, understanding, and a sense of self by seeing, collecting, categorising, naming, and creating. The film invites viewers to reconsider how interaction with objects can transform perception and meaning.
