Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How to teach and inspire the practice of film from a concept rather than a story? How does one stimulate ideas to develop films that are informed by proactive questions rather than proposing answers? At Valand Academy in Göteborg, Sweden, an alternative method of teaching film directing is evolving from the digital paradigm shift, where the actual definition of the term "film" is questioned. The discussion starts with the practice of "filming" and not with the film product. A process-driven focus puts inquiry at the center. By exploring and developing methods that are unique to their interests, modes of thinking/making are encouraged which are not governed by the logic and/or the value chain of the film industry. The pedagogy encourages “unlearning” and promotes a reflexive approach to aesthetics, ethics and the politics of publics. The presentation draws on scenes from alumni Östlund and Pichler to reflect on the pedagogy of film practices at Valand Academy. [Ruben Östlund, 2017 Palm D'Or Winner The Square; Gabriela Pichler, whose debut Eat Sleep Die (2012) premiered at the Venice Film Festival and her second feature Amateurs (2012) won the Nordic competition at the Göteborg Film Festival.]

Perspectives: a round-table discussion on decolonial pedagogies.
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Film Education Journal. ; 5:1, s. 24-33
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Three practitioners – a film-maker, a photographer and a film curator, all working in higher education, teaching film production, photography and film studies – discuss their reflections on co-convening a decolonising pedagogy workshop–conference hosted in May 2019 at HDK-Valand, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. They draw from their unique geographical positions – South Africa, Sweden and the UK respectively – to reflect on the nuances and differences of how race and subjectivity shape classroom interactions with the curriculum, and the institutional challenges in developing transformational pedagogy practices. The conversation uses as its impetus this shared experience of co-convening and facilitating the ‘Decolonising pedagogy: Exploring processes in image-making’ workshop–conference, and leads to discussion of broader issues of historical conditions and the geopolitical contexts that have determined the subsequent impact and outcomes in their different universities.

GEECT Special Issue: Mapping Artistic Research in Film
- 2020
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Film and Media Arts. - 2183-9271. ; 5:2
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The idea for this special issue came out of the recognition that an association such as GEECT must react to this state of affairs and should contribute to its member schools’ ability to offer learning and teaching programmes that are built on state-of-the-art knowledge in the field. We envision this special issue as a show case of the research being conducted in different schools and also as a statement in favour of the relevance of artistic practice based research. The articles here included are all examples of how artistic research is undertaken in film and media arts, and achieves its results both within those disciplines, as well as often in a transdisciplinary setting, combining artistic methods with methods from other research traditions. In a context where film schools have been increasingly driven to conduct artistic research, we believe the development of the research environment is essential. This objective is just as important as the research outputs and their impact, and this has become a high strategic priority for GEECT that we also try to materialize via this special issue.

- The 2019 PARSE conference “HUMAN” invited contributions to “reimagine, remake, expose and expand the human vis-à-vis notions of the nonhuman, inhuman, subhuman, post-human and inhumane.This collection offers no singularly defined notion of human. Instead it offers positions and analysis, performances and speculations on variegated ideas of the human—with its multiple pre-fixes, hence *human. The contributors all search for revitalised understandings of human in the context of revised histories, uncertain present conditions and in a future when technology, algorithms and environmental concerns, biodiversity and human biology converge in an ethical and political quagmire.

Intersections PARSE JOURNAL
- 2020
-
Ingår i: PARSE JOURNAL. ; Summer:11
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This issue of PARSE journal concludes the theme of “Intersectional Engagements in Politics and Art”, first initiated as a research arc within PARSE in 2018. Under this theme, artists, scholars and students, as well as a wider public have gathered to share a critical exploration of the nexus of race, coloniality, gender and sexuality in contemporary art-making, scholarship and artistic research. Focusing on socially engaged practices related to memory, history, embodiment and alterity, the journal issue offers yet another set of considerations that brings together research by practitioners and scholars from a wide range of fields, disciplines and contexts. The theme began as a way to address and explore interest within arts research about the notion of intersectionality as a mode of creative practice, as well as a form of critical analysis. This interest, arguably following a turn towards the intersectional in feminist artistic practice and pedagogy, came as scholars in the humanities and social sciences were already debating the various appropriations and reifications that had seemingly made intersectionality into “a grand theory of everything”, to use Kimberlé Crenshaw’s words, with the effect of positioning intersectionality as a deeply contested, seemingly overdetermined concept.

Living with Ghosts: Legacies of Colonialism and Fascism
- 2019
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Living with Ghosts: Legacies of Colonialism and Fascism, is a constellation of essays, conversations and images that point to the manner in which the legacies of colonialism and fascism reverberate in our present conjuncture. The impulse for producing this issue was a question of whether it may be possible to trace the connections between the violences of the colonial project through the horrors of fascism to current forms of racism, identitarianism and populism – what we initially called 'an arc' of colonialism-nationalism-fascism. Description of how the project was implemented: the realisation of the work, and a reflection on the project, using max. 1500 characters, excluding spaces: This issue considers the layers of historical conditions that inform states of 'belonging' and 'sovereignty' (even 'citizenry' as a debatable proposition) in Europe. What becomes evident from these various contributions is that there is no sudden or surprising development towards the right – too often expressed an 'inexplicable phenomena' of contemporary society. They instead address it as a slow and steady movement based on historical events and political terms of reference which have remain unresolved and have again returned, this time through the opportunism advanced and fuelled by the structures of capitalism that connect Europe to Russia and America. Each is a case study that recognises the patterns of violence and inequality evident in the political structures of colonialism and fascism.

Archival excavations: Searching Sámi Stories
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Västerbottens Museum. - : Västerbottens Museum.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the project, which is located in Västerbotten County, in the middle of Sápmi, Klara Björk and Jyoti Mistry re-examine the history of the geographical location and the politics that have shaped it. Using decolonial strategies, they look at how knowledge is constructed; how power, historical and political conditions shape knowledge that has been “normalized” through colonial history. By revealing how history is written from the perspective of colonial power and its relation to elided experiences, new and more complex historical stories emerge. The project stems from Klara Björk’s personal family tree and major political events in the region. What has happened and is happening in Västerbotten is a micro perspective of the larger Swedish colonial project that exploited and continuous to exploit Sápmi. For Jyoti Mistry, archives are a place to explore how alternative stories and marginal peoples in history can be made visible. Björk and Mistry have begun a collaboration with Aejlies, the Sami cultural and resource center in Dearna / Tärnaby, which forms part of the residence period.

Cause of Death
- 2020
-
Ingår i: World Premiere at Berlinale 2020.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Femicide and exploration of images of women marginalised historically in the archive or how they were depicted. The file card of an anonymous autopsy report documents violent attacks as the "cause of death". The film constructs five miniature vignettes to the rhythm of evocative spoken word poetry by Napo Masheane, accompanied by an extremely incompatible collection of archival bits and pieces from the EYE-Filmmuseum –¬ ethnographic film footage, chorus-line films, and physical culture films. Femicide, witch hunts, stonings. Disciplined and undisciplined bodies, cheerful and exuberant and careful and anonymous. Visual spectacles and impertinences intertwine in an uninterrupted stream of loops and accelerations, circular and collective dance movements, girl group ornaments. Sketchy markings and check marks on the images evoke characteristic and discriminatory power. Flashes or embedded x-rays of skeletal structures that appear among treated and mistreated bodies, accompanied by blows, breaking sounds, clattering stones. Intense gazes into the camera convey pride and broken pride, expectations and the presence of profound experience.

Decolonising Film Education
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Film Education Journal. - Scotland : SCOTTISH INTERNATIONAL FILM EDUCATION.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The discussion around how to develop curricula that are inclusive and reflexive of their historical and epistemic positions has grown in urgency. This is connected to discourses around the call for decolonising institutions, reconstituting teaching-learning frameworks and revitalising pedagogy, which draws from and includes multiple experiences and subjectivities present in the classroom. How then do we approach the necessity for revising received certainties of western knowledge paradigms and reference points to include histories, experiences and image-making practices that draw from multiple positions and perspectives? More significantly, images (and image-making) are increasingly central to modes of expressing research processes and outcomes across faculties and disciplines. Experiments in decolonising pedagogy implies that there are no given certainties of what decolonising might mean in image-making beyond its metaphoric meanings. The approach suggests working through historical and contemporary power relations in representations to encourage collaborative understandings of what the “decolonial” might be that advances active teaching-learning and encourages critical thinking which is central to the idea of critical pedagogy. More importantly how does this relate to the contemporary issues in film education where online platforms are increasingly central to education and exhibition (dissemination) of content. Drawing from the conference-workshop titled: Decolonising Pedagogy: Exploring processes in image-making as a case study this presentation provides some reflection on the implications of shifting paradigms and challenging received canons and addressing an integrated disciplinary approach to other (across) disciplines. This presentation will offer a set of conceptual possibilities gleaned not just from this particular workshop-conference but site some examples from visual methodologies framed by the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China South Arica) geo-economic alliance film practice research. The ideas proposed in this presentation will further suggest that strategies for active learning implies not just a radical shift in pedagogic approaches but that the re-examination of the curriculum advances socio-political enquiry, affirming critical thinking by encouraging student engagement with curriculum (content) and the how (methods) of what is taught (not just the what (content) of the curriculum) is paramount to active learning.

Eutopia - Researchers’ workshop: Transformative and Experimental Knowledge for Change, Structural Strategies for Decolonising Education
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Eutopia Research Platform.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This session aims to address the multiple structural transformations necessary to facilitate institutional changes for more inclusive education. Promoting inclusion requires a three-tiered approach to shift the historical power-knowledge relations that make universities inaccessible to many across society for a number of reasons: race, class, language, socio-economic factors and cultural-geopolitical entanglements amongst others. In the discussion we will address the specificities of the curricula in its specific socio-political context. The focus is on the three-tiers and how to approach the transformations necessary to attend to the curricula elisions that exclude certain forms of knowledge and experiences. The workshop will invite participants to consider how curricula is not only connected to student recruitment and faculty appointments but to the institutional structures that have to provide the support to facilitate transformations that de-segregate and make higher education more accessible.

"Experiments in film practices across cultural contexts”
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Stockholm University of the Arts.
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) is a geo-economic alliance created in order to strengthen trade agreements between five nations based on their gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate, particular “national expertise”, skills exchange and natural resources. To date there have been numerous debates and speculations regarding its success. But it has created an opportunity to examine the implications for how five nations with varied historical, cultural and linguistic differences forge a common vision through economic solidarity. In 2016, the NIHSS (National Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences) in South Africa funded an initiative to understand the cultural impact and/or (mis)understandings, political access and impact “on the ground” (if any) of this alliance. One of the projects: Visual Methodologies in Cultural Contexts investigates how these relationships would be explored through visual methods organised in each location, around mutually agreed to themes. Images (and image-making) is increasingly central to modes of expressing research processes and outcomes across faculties and disciplines. Therefore, underpinning the approach is an interrogation of revising received certainties of western knowledge paradigms and reference points to include histories, experiences and image-making practices that draw from multiple positions and perspectives. This presentation aims to share some of the conceptual possibilities gleaned from the case studies to date in Brazil, India and China. Furthermore, the presentation aims to invite open discussion on how historical and contemporary power relations in representations might encourage collaborative understandings of image-making practices and more broadly, revitalise film practice to explore cultures across linguistic and political divides.
