Context and methods
SCENARIO
Hotspots on South-East borders
heavely touched by mediterranean migration
(
)
Inequal, objectivating and disrespectful storytelling
PROBLEM
CONSEQUENCES
DISUMANIZING
MIGRATING PEOPLE
The Medias generalize the people and their accaptivating narration win the competiting journalism system, making the information sensational, dramatic, fast and undetailed.
LACK OF INFORMATION
The lack of details create simplistic explanations. The receivers of the information haven't enough material to build a complex opinion (that, instead, needs to be filled with contextualized causes, consequences, contributes...)
MISUNDERSTANDING THE PHENOMENON
Without good informations, it's impossible to make a personal opinion of the situation.
This causes an incomplete and cynical collective consciousness and leads often to exclusivist political positions, incoherent discourse in a non-realistic politic ambient.
PROJECT INTERVENTION
Build a new storytelling with people
TOPICS AND TOOLS
VISUAL ART AS A SELF-DETERMINATING
TOOL
The European Charter of Fundamental Rights is based on the human dignity and the right to life.
Art can be one tool to fight towards the achieving of it, to determine ourself in whichever situation (especially when somebody's respect is not guaranteed)
POPULAR EDUCATION
Instead of academic classes, we will organize laboratories as spaces for sharing and discussing, experimenting documentary dynamics and video-sound production.
The idea of a society that shares knowledge and skills must be the future.
TAKING A STAND IN INFORMATION SYSTEM
Taking part in society by adding new contents in the information system is fundamental to resolve misunderstandings. International collective consciousness needs first person witnesses.
ACCESSIBLE TECHNOLOGY
Nowadays creating audiovisual contents have become easier. Lots of people have a smartphone with a camera or/and a microphone, with internet access and at least a basic knowledge of the social network usage.
Exploiting and exploring these tools can make ourself see their real potential. It's important understand how to not be a passive smartphone user.
KNOWLEDGE OF STORYTELLING
Telling a story is a language that follows its own grammar, vocabulary and semantic.
Especially, to build concrete and useful skills in video-making, it's necessary to analyze examples and study the dynamics of story-telling.
INCLUSION / PARTICIPATION
Collaboration with local associations is crucial in the developement of our project.
They, who have already studied and participated the situation, will help us having a real impact.
We also need to spend some time with comunities, to build a real relationship and be able to work in an open and respectful co-working situation.
CYCLES OF LABS
Each situation will be diffrent.
We'll modify each workflow
according to the number of interested people, their actual skills, their level of passion and our capacity to get in contact with them.
