The AIM Society

23/03/2026

Looking back on Friday, 20 March 2026 - we opened in true AIM style.

An intimate and powerful evening of film, gathering, and reflection. We shared Stories in Die Wind by Na Aap Productions, A Place Called Paradise by Rae Human and Rudi Lippert, and Perspective: Triptych by Shifting Point Studio and Darion Adams.

Each work drew us into our connection with nature, our deep relationships with one another and the land, and the quiet power of stories that reflect the people who witness them.

This evening marked the opening of the Purple Mountain Arts Residency Human & Environmental Rights Festival 2026.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared in this moment.

More to come as the journey continues.
