Progress: Peter Blodau and Between The Bridges
On Monday, we had an inspiring visit from the artist Peter Blodau, who gave a fascinating talk about the importance of location in drawing. Peter shared his own experiences, showing examples of his work and explaining how the environment he was in influenced each piece. He talked about the places he had lived and worked, weaving in stories from his life, which made his talk even more engaging. After his presentation, each of us received a small sketchbook with an assignment to draw something between the bridges near us. We could choose to focus on the bridges themselves or the surrounding space. The next day, we transferred our sketches onto larger paper, which was a great exercise in capturing a location and experimenting with perspective. This project was simple yet captivating, allowing each of us to express our own style through the subject.
16th June, 7pm – Film screening: Prime Time in the Camps (1993) by Chris Marker
as part of Between Broadcast, an event curated by Marianna Liosi & Between Bridges
In Roska Camp in Slovenia, Bosnian refugees, deprived of everything they owned, decide, with the technical help of a N.G.O., to put together a way to retrieve information. They create a television programme, equipped with all the elements to make it appear like actual Television: with anchorpersons, jingles, and pirating of shows that talks about them. Reflecting on spectatorship and self-representation, the film reflects on the attempt of refugees to emerge from the forced invisibility and anonymity and to enter the official chronicle.

Meeting Place: Between Broadcast
A project around activist video
From 2nd June 2016 onwards
curated by Marianna Liosi and Between Bridges
The selection of videos that I have proposed for Between Broadcast stems from the continuation of my research around spectatorship, the generative role of the viewer and their engagement through the mediation of technology. At this particular stage I'm interested in the re-thinking of videos found on YouTube, visual accounts that have been posted by anonymous citizens and excerpts from broadcasting channels from between 2010 – 2015, whilst considering how the value of these videos can change over time.
I've chosen videos of pacifist collective gatherings, public speeches, empowering anecdotes as well as expressions of dissent that have gained thousands of 'views' and that have shaped my imagination of certain political events, episodes in which citizens have shown active political reaction towards an oppressive status quo. Situations that I feel I've experienced through the screen. These visual fragments - lasting minutes or just seconds - are still very iconic today and empowering for me and I remember them as crucial for describing an intense historical time or emblematic moment.
Subjective reports from personal perspectives that show various forms of activism in public which, thanks to their viral circulation through 'likes' and 'shares' across online social media platforms, have contributed towards the construction of individual and collective historical legitimization of such events.
I have invited Between Bridges to contribute their own selection of videos from YouTube that have made an impression on them, of images that have stayed with them over time and that they consider examples of activism. How has our affection for these images evolved over the time? What kind of engagement do we have with them? What might this long lasting empathy produce? Is the act of remembering an additional form of circulation for these images? If so, what sort of collective outcome can it generate?
