Aardman Animations is synonymous with Bristol. Its style distinct, voice unique and comedic timing loved by millions around the world. A front cover adorned with creations from the four times Academy Award winning studio always feels as though we couldn’t get more Bristol.

This time round, the characters – mother-anddaughter duo Kalina and Anni – were dreamt up by director Magdalena Osinska and an immensely talented team of animators for a collaboration like no other.
In 2021, the studio was approached by Lucasfilm and asked to create an episode for the second instalment of the critically acclaimed series, Star Wars: Visions. After nearly two years of meticulous work, the 10-minute short titled I Am Your Mother, along with eight other episodes from studios all around the world, was released on Disney+. The series was adored by fans and critics alike and we were eager to know more. Flick to p.18 to read our interview with Osinska, who delves into the inspiration behind her charming, heart-warming picture. Elsewhere, the magazine is brimming with things to do and places to see. On p.30, we celebrate the work of Marla Allison –the latest Native American artist to visit Bristol for an exhibition at Rainmaker Gallery in Clifton. Allison is creating a unique style of painting, which she calls “pueblo futurism”. She talks beautifully about her experiences growing up in her ancestral family village in the western desert landscape of New Mexico and how she looks up to her aunt, Deb Haaland, the first Indigenous Cabinet Secretary in the history of the United States and an extraordinary role model.
Whether you’re looking to be entertained or are in the market to take up a new pursuit, this month’s magazine has you covered. Hope you enjoy the read – see you next time…
