Owain Astles: Homeless Lockdown Diaries | Watershed

The Pervasive Media Studio is a partnership between Watershed, UWE Bristol and University of Bristol. New Resident Owain Astles joins us for this lunchtime talk and asks how can Participatory Video be used for empowerment and activism, and how do we respond to working in an increasingly virtual space? Owain Astles is a Bristol-based filmmaker, photographer and visual activist. He’s currently working on a Participatory Video project entitled Homeless Lockdown Diaries, working with people experiencing homelessness to tell their own stories and experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. In his talk, Owain will explore the practice of Participatory Video and its uses in empowerment and activism, particularly investigating how the practice is responding to the pandemic and to an artistic space that is increasingly virtual. He will also reflect on working with people experiencing homelessness, his own experiences of the issue, and how art and media can be a tool for reflection and empowerment.
