On May 22nd, CEH is excited to host a screening of the ethnographic film Tangled: Filming nearby woollen sheep by CEH-affiliate Annika Cápelan. The film explores the linkages between landscapes, sheep, and wool and is one of the main outputs of Annika's Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship.

The event is free to attend and open to everyone, no sign up required.

Abstract
Wool – as we know it in yarn balls and fine woven fabrics – is soft and often scentless, as though stemming from anywhere or nowhere. In the overall global textile industry, wool fades into the background as a minor contribution. Focusing on merino sheep in the Lesotho highlands, on Patagonia’s vast landscapes, and in the Karoo of southern Africa, Tangled provides a film montage of glimpses into an itchy history of wool as it grows on sheeps’ backs. Each site tells a situated story that speaks to the other sites. In suggesting an understanding of the landscape as part of the sheep, as much as they are part of the landscape, the film sets out to untangle wool with a camera.
