Postcards - Crash Ensemble + Laura Sheeran (Screenings)

Postcards consists of a series of three-minute compositions by an eclectic group of creators: Dani Larkin, Emmelle Wadding, Jenn Kirby, Maeve Kelly, Michael Sullivan, Neil O’Connor, and Paul Scully. Each piece explores critical environmental and existential issues, reflecting the urgency of addressing climate change and our impact on the planet.

As part of this project, Crash Ensemble commissioned Filmmaker-in-Residence Laura Sheeran to create accompanying visuals that beautifully interweave live visual stories with each piece.

Duration: 27 minutes, running on a continuous loop (each composition is approximately 3 minutes)
