We could be witches and Connected Practices Tutorial

Set up a new Gmail as I hate outlook email and working at Framescape has shown how good a google account can be for managing a business - so I have a business profile / email to apply for the "we could be witches" open call. 

Had a think about what to submit and I'm going to put Significant/insignificant in because - it's significant to what I have to say about the witch. 

I keep thinking back to KiKis delivery service and why Ian was so sure that it'd be insightful .. and I think that when she starts the film as a confident girl ready to take on this matrilineal right of passage - she's grounded in herself - confidence and connection to nature (her familiar) 

The social cues are clear in the film as she dodges perceived obstacles and has to shoe horn into a way of paying for general life - how she reacts to boys and gradually looses her joy and her connection to her familiar..  

So - I had a play in the studio to see how the works sit together  - had to get a new image of Insignificant /significant (deceased) to show it on a white background without the clip (I seem to only have cropped or degree show images on a blue wall background)

  

Had a review of my presentation ahead of my tutorial - it makes sense, I just need to be more concise in the presentation and get to the crux of things. It was helpful to talk to RN - and it was really easy (despite being clear that I'm tacking the connections module in terms of research and input, to slip into dimensions - as practice and artistic output)

Considerations:

• What is the title - is it still Matriarch - I feel this covers a lot in terms of female role and matrilineal context, but its still translates in a way that doesn't reference non binary or nature. (me) Look at this- this might be where the crux of your practice sits.? RN : Can I enrich this title and flesh it out?
• Define your terms - set a slide at the beginning that references the scope of your research but that your practice focuses on specific areas (in reference to pagan/ folk/ historical
• Consider language including the archetype and the stereotype
• I am interested in intersection feminism - lived female experience, from the angle of the impact of the witch trials - how that impacts us in a contemporary world and how it has separated us from our relationship with nature. and how at every turning point to address it, you mat stumble into a stereo type that effectively acts as a barrier to you reconciling - and getting back to an authentic way of "being. "
• The struggle in your practice makes information in your search valid - ie, some research is impacted by art base research - this realisations through making art, that determine the next place that you look.
• Who is my practice for: who is my audience? What do I want to do with my storytelling? I want the additional discourse. I want to prompt people to ask more questions. I want to disturb the status quo. Disruptive art.
