latest happenings

Burqa projection workshop conducted by Sophie Ernst

date for workshop: Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd of April from 10:30 -17:00
Date for Performance:Thursday 20 April (decided after the workshop)

project note:

During the workshop we discuss political, religious and aesthetic
concerns and develop the imagery to be projected during the
performance. Once the video clips are produced we choose a location
for presentation. The goal is to present the work in a public space
and open up the discussions of the workshop to a wider audience.

The initial Burqa projection was performed at Delhi gate, Lahore. An
actor, wearing a white burqa, walked through the bazaar. The projector
operator was tracing her movements with a video beam. The superimposed
images were video clips prepared by students from the art school of
Lahore.

The clips were short comments the students inserted into the streets
of the city. At times funny, serious, violent, poetic, the videos
commented on the notion of identity, stereotyping, absence and spatial
constraint.

Workshop will be lead by , Sophie Ernst video artist and Assistant
Professor, SVA, Beaconhouse National University, Lahore

The project is set up in two stages, workshop and performance.
