Workshop: Captioning for Artists
Join us for a live, online workshop for artists to experiment with the poetics and pragmatics of captioning.
This session is led by artist, Asad Raza and translator Olivia Fairweather. Thinking together about subjectivity, sound, and interpretation, we explore captioning as creative practice. During this workshop, participants collaborate in real-time on Raza’s film project, Ge to develop a collectively authored caption-track. No prior experience, expertise, or specialist software is required.
This event is part of Caption Conscious Ecology, a series of talks and workshops advocating for the role of captioning in the production and display of moving-image work. Bringing scholars from D/deaf Studies and Critical Disability Studies together with artists and access workers, this series prompts conversations on the history, function, practical provision, and creative potentiality of captioning. It invites artists and arts organisers to explore how and why to embed captioning in artistic and curatorial practice.
Organised by Nottingham Contemporary and Voices in the Gallery.
