Easy Sundays: Tatties and Typhoid Ham
(Sun 15 Jan: 2pm)
Tatties and Typhoid Ham is a filmed fusion of live evolving visual art, music, poetry and spoken word, wherein three women born and bred in Aberdeen share their thoughts and experiences on being in lockdown during the typhoid outbreak in 1964 and their concurrent situation during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. The women are neighbours and long-term friends; they speak about mental health, socio-political divides, and the practical implications of lockdowns with regard to food supplies, finances, family, and social relations. This event consists of a 20-minute film screening combining performance, live drawing, spoken word and music with a live Q&A.
Tatties & Typhoid Ham stars storytellers Diana, Ruby, and Pat, with creative writer Sheena Blackhall, composer Maria Sappho, sound mix Annabel Strange, videographers Alex Cormack & Martina Camatta, and visual artist & film director Kate Steenhauer.
