GPC TALKS (#3) How to Develop a Filmic Practice of Care?

Petra Bauer is an artist, filmmaker, and professor of film & media with a responsibility for the research area Art Technology and Materiality at the Stockholm University of the Arts. In her artistic practice and research, she is interested in how we can approach film as a space for social and political explorations. Her work addresses how women organize, resist and refuse using both aesthetics and politics. She has formed long-term collaborations with several different feminist organisations including Southall Black Sisters in London, the sex-worker led organisation SCOT-PEP, Edinburgh and The Women's Centre in Tensta-Hjulsta, Stockholm. She is one of the initiators of the feminist platform k.ö.k (Women Desire Collectivity).Drawing on their own projects and experiences as artists and practitioners, Marlies Pöschl and Petra Bauer explore their filmic practice as a form of care work in the third edition of the Golden Pixel Talks.

Marlies Pöschl is an artist, filmmaker, curator and educator. She currently teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Shifting between artistic, curatorial and educational approaches, Pöschl is interested in art as a form of knowledge production. She understands filmmaking as social practice and often collaborates with actors from outside the art world in search for polyphonic narrations and open-ended dramaturgies. As co-founder and former chairperson of The Golden Pixel Cooperative, an association for moving images, she has developed artistic-curatorial strategies for exhibitions, screenings and projects in public space with a focus on feminism and ecology.
