Experiments In Living 17th – 23rd September, Glasgow
Bildwechsel is an organisation for women+ and media, culture and art. Alongside its main archives in Hamburg bw-agents search out like-minded and unlikely artists, filmmakers, theorists, activists and interlopers worldwide.
From 17th – 23rd September we are meeting in Glasgow to make things, see things, meet, discuss, perform, share info, visit and have fun.
There will be events and screenings with proper start times, the rest of the time you are welcome to just pop in.
See this website for updates or the project website and /or join the mailing list, or email kate…
Our theme is Experiments In Living – artists and women’s and queer communities, groups, ways of organising and working and living. We want your input – come along and join in, meet the bw folk from Hamburg, Berlin, Warsaw, Basel, Chicago and Montreal, see some work, chat, plan, eat, hang out.
Bildwechsel is always searching for new connections, new ideas and of course your work for the archives. www.bildwechselglasgow.wordpress.com www.ilovebildwechsel.org email kate.henderson@virgin.net

LaD.I.Y.fest Berlin (16.-19.07.09) is … CALLING FOR FILMS!
(The Open Call for films on ‘experiments in living’ (see below) will also be show in Glasgow in the CCA in September as part of a week long series of events for the Bildwechsel project Permanent Conference of Artistic Resources… more info about the week soon)
This year LaD.I.Y.fest Berlin formed two topic groups that each concentrate on specific subjects.
Inside of this years call for films we are focusing on those two topics, but we are keeping the call open for other subjects!
Topic 1:
‘Everyday Sexism’.
We are trying to look into where sexism occurs in our everyday lives and how to deal with it. A focus will be on how to speak up against sexism and to develop counter strategies. Specifically, we want to deal with heterosexism/heteronormativity, sexism within relationships and family as well as for example in the leftwing movement. Apart from that sexism in language and the power/right of (self)definition could be further talking points.
Topic 2:
we want to offer a platform to reflect on structural discrimination and how norms, structures of power and racism are reproduced in different surroundings. Therefore we want to deal with discrimination by the state and mainstream society, as well as being self reflective and work on our own behavior and attitudes, re-question our figuration of inclusion/exclusion. We are thinking of topics like e.g. challenge the predominantly white western feminism which rarely engages the questions of migration and nationality, under a postcolonial perspective. We are interested in different perspectives and positions of voices, thinkings and practices of feminism.
Open Call: The theme of the open call is ‘experiments in living’.
LaD.I.Y.fest Berlin is colaborating with Bildwechsel (archive and project for women+ in media and culture) and we are interested any kinds of realities, histories, utopias and imaginings, in communities and groups, homes and buildings, networks and connections. A mixed and open screening is planned and we are looking forward for your videos of every genre! (short, long, roadmovies, docs, fiction, science fiction, porns, animations, storys, everydaylive-observations, the thinkable and the not-thinkable )
