Dreams of the Small Gods
Creator: Zinnia Oberski
Support: Creative Scotland
Woman as animal, as human, as goddess or spirit-being – visited by a horned magus – this creative is called upon to transform herself.
Inspired by the mythologies of cultures from around the world, this piece celebrates our human need to create fantasy and legend, exploring how we fashion our own gods to help us make sense of the world around us.
