What is beauty without difference?
Dagmar and Adam will be exhibiting their powerful sculpture of Adam and talking to the public about their new film ‘Difference’. This is a film that aims to explore and celebrate one of the most unique British characters Adam Pearson. He has a rare genetic condition called Neurofibromatosis, and as a public figure, he questions the status quo and drives change in how society perceives disfigurement, visible differences and disability.
We live in a time when hate crime, racism and existing inequalities are on the rise whilst simultaneously, the next generation yearns for a more equal world. Through the juxtaposition of cast, styling, props and location this short film aims to highlight and question – what will we have left to celebrate if there is a society full of hate and division? What does beauty mean without difference?
