Participatory Video Archive Workshops
Through our continous efforts to work with the local community, we would like to introduce The Battersea Places Video Archive Project, its a series of participant-led workshops, exploring the Battersea area throughout the years.
Battersea and the riverside industries once had some cohesion but its identity, landscapes, political boundaries and demographics have been impacted by waves of industrialisation, land reclamation, bomb damage, mass house building, modernisation, de-industrialisation, demolitions and gentrification.
A series of workshops will be held on Wednesday evenings (at our Lavender Hill Studio or Online) from January through to the end of March where, as a group, we will create a collective visual representation of the local communities and places. Through the use of archives and their new found filming and editing skills, the group will produce a short film, exploring the community’s heritage. The group’s final projects will be shared at public screenings and made available online.
If this sounds like something of interest to you, then don’t worry, it’s not too late to join in. Luckily for you we record our meetings, so catching up is a possibility. If you would like to join us in our upcoming meetings and become a part of the project, please sign up here.
