People’s Bureau - This Is A Call Residency

At the beginning of May, Peoples’ Bureau (Eva Sajovic and Rebecca Davies), along with writer Sarah Butler and film maker Shona Hamilton put out a call for artists to respond to the questions

·       What is the role of the artist in today's political, economic and social context?
·       What is home?
·       What might the future of living look like?

They used funding from the AHRC best Research in film award, given to their latest project, UnEarthing Elephant, a film exploring and celebrating the value of the much maligned Elephant and Castle shopping centre, to support this initiative.

The selected artists, Nicola Privato, Julene Robinson, Ryan Skelton, Luzmira Zerpa and Omar Rocha, and Katrina Wilde shared the outcomes of their at-home-artist-residencies through an online performance via zoom. A rich mix of music, poetry, performance and visual art. The work was punctuated by work from Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos..
