A Process A Proposal A Plan - Masterclass in Community Videomaking, Dundee Contemporary Arts
Dr Ed Webb-Ingall conducted a Masterclass focusing on his creative process and working methodology, for Invisible Dust at Dundee Contemporary Arts. Often beginning with archival materials and methodologies drawn from community video, Webb-Ingall collaborates with groups to explore under-represented historical moments and their relationship to contemporary life, developing modes of self-representation specific to the subject or the experiences of the participants. For this event he drew on examples from 1970s community video as well as his own practice to share the stages he goes through in order to facilitate a community video project. This includes the negotiation of the initial invitation from a community, the formation of a group, the role of the discussion screening, the introduction of the video camera, the production of a video and finally the distribution of the finished video. After the Masterclass, one of Webb-Ingall's latest films was screened in DCA Cinema at 6pm as part of the touring project Shore: How We See the Sea.
