This is not an event as such, but instead will be an open project running until the 4th May (estimation) in which we will be creating sustainable decorations for the Feminist Film Festival (5th – 8th May).
The themes that we have discussed so far will be surrounding: floral elements for the new spring season, lots of colours to encompass the colours of the FFF logo (pride and trans flag colours), inclusion of female writing in the way of printed scripts, screen plays, poetry, books which will be transformed into said decorations, and incorporation of textile in the way of drapes, bunting etc. The main element was also to make sure that all decorations come from recycled materials.
We will be using one of the rooms in the house in which all work will be stored neatly when not in use. Myself (Imogen) and my working partner on this (Salvor) will be coming in and out of the space frequently due to our busy and ever-changing schedules, meaning we will be in the house when we have spare time. Our plan is to find some extra bodies who are interested in feminism, sustainability and art who might want an opportunity to work on this short project with us, meet others with shared interests and help to make these decorations the best they can be.
People wondering the house whilst we are there working will also be encouraged to join in if they wish. We aim for these decorations to be as simple as possible to create, so anyone can join in:)
In this workshop day, hosted by SEEDS Iceland long term volunteers, we learn why it is important to be aware of what power lies in the photographic documentation of events and people, the philosophy behind photography and how to photograph in black and white. Moreover, we learn how to do visual storytelling.
Talking to people from different cultures can be tricky. Sometimes, we don’t understand each other because of language differences or different ways we express ourselves without words. Our cultures affect how we talk and share information. Stereotypes can also get in the way. In this workshop day, hosted by SEEDS Iceland long term volunteers, we learn about different cultures, listen carefully, and be open to new ways of communicating.
