Nottingham Contemporary
FREE
Nottingham Contemporary are excited to announce the launch of Portland Forecast, a new moving-image commission from Seo Hye Lee. In the culminating event of the Caption-Conscious Ecology programme at Nottingham Contemporary, programme co-convenors Hannah Wallis and Sarah Hayden will present Portland Forecast along with Thinking of Captioning an Artist Film?: a provocation by Collective Text.
Hannah will introduce attendees to the Caption-Conscious Ecology programme and commissions. Portland Forecast will then be screened for the first time. After this debut screening, Seo Hye and Sarah will be in-conversation about Portland Forecast and the roles played by audio-description, creative captioning and access consultation in the development of this work. After their conversation, there will be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions.
This event is live CART captioned and BSL interpreted.
Caption-Conscious Ecology is a programme of events and commissions that advocate for the role of captioning in the production and display of moving-image work. Beginning in 2021 with online talks and workshops that brought scholars from D/deaf Studies and Critical Disability Studies together with artists and access workers, these initial events prompted conversation on the history, function, practical provision, and creative potentiality of captioning. Having first invited artists and arts organisers to explore how and why to embed captioning in artistic and curatorial practice, we then invited Seo Hye Lee and Collective Text to produce a pair of commissions in parallel.
The launch of Portland Forecast by Seo Hye Lee and Thinking of Captioning an Artist Film? by Collective Text will both cap and close the programme.
Caption-Conscious Ecology is co-organised by Nottingham Contemporary, Hannah Wallis and Sarah Hayden/Voices in the Gallery with funding from the AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council) in 2021 and an Art Fund Reimagine Grant from 2022-2024.
