Imaging Migrants Seminar Series - Janet Bowstead |
This presentation reflects on the visual aspects of a PhD research project, mapping and conceptualising the journeys women make to escape domestic violence. (Continued under additional information.) |
EB1.37 (Matrix East Research Lab), UEL Docklands Campus | This research project includes wider quantitative and spatial analysis of woman-journeys to access support services in England, however, this presentation focuses on participatory photography work with two small groups of women resident in women’s refuges.
Creative groupwork was carried out in two women’s refuges to explore how women who have relocated due to domestic violence settle into a new area. During the first session participants looked at published images to consider what images can communicate, and were given cameras to use for the following week. The second session discussed important places for the participants in the local area; and the third session considered the photographs the women had taken. Issues of safety and confidentiality were very significant, both for the participants at risk from violent partners and for the security of the location of the refuges, and this was a challenge in terms of the images that could be used further within the research. About the Author: Janet Bowstead has worked for over 25 years around domestic violence issues in frontline roles in women’s organisations and in policy and coordination roles in local authorities. She has a personal interest in photography and has attended training on participatory photography. She is currently a PhD student at the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit at London Metropolitan University. Contact Janet at j.bowstead@londonmet.ac.uk Regarding further development of the Programme of events under Imagining Migrants, contact Dr Marta Rabikowska m.rabikowska@uel.ac.uk or call at 07759612066. Marta Rabikowska lectures at University of East London in the School of Arts and Digital Industries, her research concentrates on cultural identity and visual cultures, migration in urban communities and creative branding within the third sector. |

Powers of the False Symposium
There is a power inherent in the false: the positive power of ruse, the power to gain a strategic advantage by masking one's life force."(Brian Massumi) |
This two-day symposium addresses the complex ethics of the manipulation of real people and events in documentary, fact-fiction hybrid cinema and artists' moving image. Inspired by Gilles Deleuze's theories of minor cinema and his term 'powers of the false', the symposium will turn to other philosophers including Levinas' philosophy of alterity. Powers of the False looks at filmmaking as a manipulative and coercive agency. When and for what reason is forgery and deception conceptually motivated, even ethically necessary? Panels include: Faction, War, Herzog, Documentary Performance, Fabulation, Kiarostami and Costa, re-enactment in features by UK Artists, Artists' Moving Image. Keynote presentation by Professor Stella Bruzzi Convened by: Dr Steven Eastwood: eastwood@uel.ac.uk Dr Catherine Wheatley: catherine.wheatley@kcl.ac.uk
