Filming Change: A Conversation with Janet Solomon
Hoping this invitation finds you well, and we are very excited for our 5th episode in the More than Human webinar series, having had four episodes so far and featuring speakers from South Asia, Latin America, and Scandinavia.Our next episode is with film-maker and activist Janet Solomon who will tell us about her her film, Blue Burning- a powerful piece of work that documents impacts on South Africa's coasts & seas due to oil/gas exploration. She will share her journey of telling stories that need to be told in these times of climate ruptures, especially interweaving art and activism to bring wider awareness and connection to the natural world.About the speaker:
Janet Solomon is a passionate environmental and climate activist, artist, and award-winning filmmaker. Transcending the boundaries between activism and art, Solomon’s compelling interventionist approach includes forging links between collectives, mobilizing public awareness, fostering collective action, and documentary film critique. Her unique technique combines evocative auditory sequences with a painterly visual aesthetic. By making the extremity of unliveable conditions imposed by offshore petroleum development on those who live in and depend on the ocean understandable, Solomon’s process provokes public dialogue, and the imagination to envision another future and to advocate for it.This activity is co-organized by Kalpavriksh and the Global Tapestry of Alternatives.
