Make Strange

Steel and Cameron are filmmakers and artists with a long-standing socially engaged practice focusing on filmmaking, animation and more recently print processes. With a concern for narrative in all its forms, their work ranges from questionnaires to large scale zoetropes.

Make Strange established two models of engagement to create a productive dialogue around social engagement : a drop-in studio and a parallel film project with a group from Glasgow's refugee community.

The film project built on previous work by the group for Scottish Refugee Council and the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. Work in the studio, reflected the artists' own practice, centred on screen printing and film, including opportunities to shoot and hand process 16mm.
