projects
some of our current projects:
- developing new structures that can help us to fund our work – the spaces we need to house the archives, our umbrella organisation and some of our projects. we have no core funding for our work and because of the political situation in hamburg do not see this changing in the near future. we are interested to explore new ways of funding our work, perhaps in conjunction with other (women’s) arts organisations in europe. we now have to charge for some of our services and now also ask people to support our work by giving a small monthly payment to us, or to fundraise for us.
- storing, digitising, copying and winding the videos to preserve them
- presenting video programmes of the first generation (japan standard1, u matic)
- “mediamovements” – looking at the ways that the contents, meanings, and contexts of media representations have changed e.g. “generation gap”, an interview and performance project with women performance artists from the first generation of performance artists who began their work in the 1970s and 80s; “still lives and living pictures”, a project looking at the relation between video and performance.
- organising other associated activities / projects with our agents in other countries / elsewhere in germany
