11/11/2020 3-4, as part of our ongoing research seminar series, the Centre is very pleased to welcome Su Ansell to talk about her experimental film, Breast'work. 

As she explains:

 

"My experimental films and installations explore female experience through layered poetic connections. The intention, through exhibition and accompanying writings is to generate dialogue and debate about the issues and feelings raised by the work, and thereby to contribute to a counter-cultural narrative concerning the representation of women. There is a strong personal element to the pieces, the aim of which is to provide a stimulus for collective memory. By deconstructing the familiar, the work encourages the spectator to consider other perspectives, and also their relationship to the creation they are viewing. I hope thereby to engage new audiences with film as art. The work and my reflections on it, contribute to the expression of an alternative, rich, complex and powerful visual history of female existence."

 

The talk will be of interest to feminist and gender studies scholars and creatives alike!
