Picture - Aesthetics of encounter night











In embracing the filmic text as a site of cultural creativity and artistic experiment, we ask whether such research loses power of communication and whether the integrity of relationship is sacrificed or enhanced. Can creative engagement offer a space to transcend unidirectional formats of research? May the encounter of media production initiate an inclusive community of expressive voice? How may we read these moments of inventive display? We consider the dialogical aesthetics of negotiating, attempting to understand, being present and representing.
