Panel on Community Video - then and now
Community Video can be described as a way of creating art and media
productions with people who are normally excluded from engaging in the arts
and the media. Community Video, also sometimes known as radical or
alternative video, street video or participatory video, refers to video
practise in a community setting. This can be a geographical location or a
community of interest, from the local to the global level. Projects can be
in any form: local television, art production, YouTube-videos as part of
social media use in campaigns and urban movements, drama work with young
people, etc. Community Video activities are often developed in areas of
social exclusion, with members of different communities coming together to
express and communicate their concerns to themselves or a wider audience.
Community Video normally involves, as facilitators or co-producers,
filmmakers, professional artists or researchers with backgrounds in media
and cultural studies, sociology, anthropology,
oral history, or community development.
For this panel on "Community Video - now and then" papers are invited to
reflect on community video practice from its early days in the 1970s up to
the present: how have ideas, collaborative methods, and social and economic
conditions differed over the last twenty to forty years? What are the
similarities over time? How has the development of the Web shaped these
developments? What is the legacy of the Miners Campaign Tapes or the
"scratch video movement" of the 80s in the UK and other projects of radical
video interventions worldwide?
How do practitioners today position themselves between community
development, alternative media practice, participatory research and public
art? And to what extent do community video and participatory video
practitioners preserve their work and make it accessible to a wider audience
through archives and the internet? We are also interested in contributions
comparing community video with similar practises involving other visual
media: photography, film, and television.
