Images of Care Collective is thrilled to invite you for the 13th webinar of the “Images, Ageing and Care” series. On Thursday, 28th May, 17:30 – 19:00 CEST we will host Dr. Mike Poltorak, an award-winning filmmaker, anthropologist and the founder of the Project Puono, a multimodal resource for health communication.

Building on Mike’s “The Healer and the Psychiatrist” (2019, 74 min), we will talk about anthropological images (and especially feature film format) and its potential to transform health communication: how can camera work, editing and community screenings bring together dispersed care worlds, along with the resonances and frictions these encounters generate? And to what extent can a creative potential of visual anthropological project be harnessed to tranform community (health)care? How far can its transformative capacities travel? After the Q&A session with Mike Poltorak faciliated by Paolo Favero and Barbara Pieta, we will open the floor wide open to the questions from the audience.
Participants unfamiliar with Mike’s work are invited to watch “The Healer and the Psychiatrist” (2019, 74 min) in advance. You can do it here:
