Congratulations to David Cass and Sam Healy on winning the Best Experimental Award at the World Water Festival. Commissioned by Aberdeen Performing Arts and shown on the Music Hall Stepping In screen during the Tall Ships Race 2025, "Till" was a digital procedural artwork, created without use of artificial intelligence, constantly re-forming in response to data and imagines Arctic ice as a living entity.

For further information about the artwork, visit https://davidcass.art/till.

We're delighted to announce Tia Rey has joined the line-up for the Aberdeen Q***r Arts Festival!

Following her award-winning Edinburgh Fringe debut this show is a funny, honest, scientific exploration through the dangers and discoveries of the wild medicines that cracked her open. Equal parts cautionary tale and spiritual stand-up.

Tickets are now on sale at the box office.
