Abstract
During Claire’s Donald Horne Creative and Cultural Fellowship she has been working on a practice-led research project that investigates the making and sharing of micro- multimedia creative works to investigate familiar and unfamiliar places. It especially explores ways of communicating about place through creative practice. In this presentation Claire will draw from her collaborations at a distance and interviews she has so far conducted as part of the Fellowship, which investigate in what way creative frameworks and ways of collaborating might foster thoughtful intercultural exchange and reflection on place-making. The research asks: what are the limitations of these online collaborations? To what extent can they provide some insight into unfamiliar places? Are there any insights from these examples of practice that suggest different ways of encountering and engaging with familiar and unfamiliar places?
All are welcome!
Bio
Dr. Claire Rosslyn Wilson is a poet, researcher and editor based in Barcelona. Claire develops video works that explore the unfamiliar (both in terms of unfamiliar places and cultures and the unfamiliarity of the more-than-human). Originally from Naarm, and having worked for periods in Thailand, Singapore and now Barcelona, Claire is particularly interested in how creative practice can be an entry point into exploring the unfamiliar and the unknown in an open and curious way. Claire has a practice-led PhD focusing on translocal creative practice.
