Awarded SGSAH/ AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership10-2022 - 03-2026Drawing from urban studies, postcolonial theory, and media/film theory, this practice-led curatorial project investigates how curating moving images can contest and unsettle the social, historical and material aspects of colonial urban spaces. The curatorial practice-led research aims to test and deliver situated methods of ‘spatial’ (Rendell, 2006) inquiry to reveal vital new understandings of Glasgow’s urban space in artists’ moving image. The project will analyze works of artists’ moving image from the past 5 years which have contested Glasgow’s spatial heritage by introducing new affects over and within its urban spaces and infrastructures, including works from Sulaïman Majali, Alberta Whittle, Anne-Marie Copestake, Winnie Herbstein and Tako Taal. Through curating these disparate forms of moving image together, the research asks if new affective, social, and historical understandings can be developed that shift post-industrial heritage.
