Workshop Alert- Looking at Care (Regard Bleu Ethnographic Film Festival)

(Apologies for cross-posting) WORKSHOP ALERT: IMAGES OF CARE COLLECTIVE @ Regard Bleu Ethnographic Film Festival If your ethnographic project on care - completed, ongoing or envisioned- involves experimenting with "looking" (and with sensory attention more generally), join us for this FREE IN-PERSON workshopping at the Ethnographic Museum of Zurich on 15th March! This is part of the Regard Bleu Ethnographic Film Festival. Fill in a short submission form here, by Saturday15th February. h ttps://regardbleu.ch/workshops/caring-for-images/ Caring for Images, Looking at Care Exploring Images of Care How do we see, document, and respectfully represent acts of care that tend to be made invisible, despite their central role in the maintenance of healthy social relations, and indeed of society at large? This workshop proposes to explore the space of care, a space centrally related to human vulnerability and dependence, and to focus on the intersection of care in its broadest sense with images, vision and visuality (Pieta and Sokolovsky 2021). Inspired by the work of and framed around a conversation with Barbara Piet and Paolo Favero, the two founders of the Images of Care Collective, this workshop is an invitation to think collectively about how multimodality whether photographs, film, or other audiovisual media can help us access, document, and understand acts of care that are often overlooked. How can multimodal approaches challenge existing representations of care and help us reimagine the ways we engage with vulnerability and power in care relations?

This targeted, hands-on workshop will engage with selected early-career researchers work on care and help them develop their projects. If you have a project (concluded or ongoing) that addresses (some of) the questions raised above, we would love to read more about it! To join us for the workshop, hand in your proposal through the application form. This is a great opportunity to share your thoughts and experiences and get constructive feedback from experts and peers.
