Live from Ørecomm Festival

I’m giving a talk at Ørecomm Festival, as well as exhibiting the following videos [on and offline:]. Ørecomm takes place from 13-16 September 2013 in Copenhagen, Roskilde and Malmö, and is all about media, communication and social change. This year’s theme is Memory on Trial: Media, Citizenship and Social Justice. My talk will be about PM4D - Participatory Media for Development in Wakatobi, Indonesia.

The videos screening are:

I. PM4D: Participatory Video and Photo-stories from Wakatobi, Indonesia, 2012

Project integrated in the World Wide Fund and The Nature Conservancy Program for Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi, in Indonesia. I chose to work with the local minority, the Bajo, with students and a women’s group. The program looked into tourism as a sustainable development tool. Bajo are a touristic attraction, but do they know? Women chose to reflect on what they do each day. Students on their activities and on their village values.

II. Documentary in India, 2012

Have you ever heard of Sharmila, a nobel peace prize nominee? And, of Manipur? This is a tale about an extraordinary place and people. Sharmila is a Manipuri woman that has been in hunger strike, force-fed by her nose and in prison, since the year 2000 for fighting to stop the Armed Forces Act.
