Harris Manchester Research Fellow Dr Janina Ramirez has unveiled a new documentary in collaboration with the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, founded by Star Wars creator George Lucas, which opened on 22 September.
The project, which has taken over a year to complete, has seen Dr Ramirez travel across the world to trace how humanity has used art over the centuries – from prehistoric times to the digital age – to tell stories, shape cultures and share ideas.
The completed film, entitled Seeing is Believing, is now screening daily at the Lucas Museum in Los Angeles.
