For the first session in the LOOP Talks 2020’s online programme, London-based independent curator Filipa Ramos opened the debate on issues related on environmental and interspecies awareness, a key issue in the current agenda and one that has gained new momentum during the pandemic.
Three Tiger Tales looks at three tiger‒human encounters in artists’ cinema—Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Tropical Malady, Phillip Warnell’s Ming of Harlem and Saodat Ismailova’s The Haunted. These films are the starting point for a reflection on the entanglement of human‒animal relationships at the crossroads of cultural, natural and environmental histories.
