I am interested in participatory modalities for data visualisation that unite strands from art-based theory, participatory image-making, productive imagination, sensory studies, film theory and digital materialism. My approach to place was triggered by my PhD where I have re-drawn entire home movie settings and discovered novel modalities of seeing through the body. In the proposed project, I would like to go further and work speculatively with these methods, by targeting artist diasporas.

Co-habiting the world


participatory practices using filmmaking and drawing as prosthetic tools to study everydayness among artist diasporas

Workshops using filmmaking/drawing of everyday spaces to reimagine modes of living together.

  • Systemic changes

My project proposes participatory image-making workshops as community-engagement tools that reimagine our ways of living together. In this context, the articulation of space plays a crucial role; especially those spaces that are ‘lived’ by artist migrants who, by exploring several cultural frames, manage to develop a more idiorrhythmic approach to life. Idiorrhythmy, as used by the semiotician Roland Barthes, designates a specific way of attuning to the rhythm of a higher community while keeping one’s own personal identity. Using filmmaking and drawing as prosthetic tools empowering these communities to trace their aesthetic experiences, I aim to uncover a fluid notion of everyday places (as atmosphere/corposthetics), that captures their sensory, spatial and material qualities. Using these qualities in a speculative way in relation to our future, participants will construct 3D models of spaces which inspire a lifestyle where co-habiting the world is more important than inhabiting it.
