'I show you my town' workshop with Matthias Beckman
"I show you my town"
An online free documentary drawing workshop with Matthias Beckmann
Aim of the workshop:
We will learn how to create an exciting graphic reportage with the means of drawing, using visual means that we know from the film, storyboard, and comic: sequence of images, change of perspective, zoom, picture of the total scene, detail, etc.
We draw in front of the subject without photographic aids and develop a documentary drawing series about a place that has a special meaning for us.
Process:
In the daily Zoom meeting conducted and mentored by Matthias Beckmann, he gives suggestions, and the course participants discuss their work. The participants work independently on their series of drawings and receive individual corrections.
Result:
Selected works from the workshop will be presented on a website, and a series of postcards will be made.

Open studio by Sandip Kuriakose
The focus of Sandip’s work has been an examination of power structures in the production and circulation of various kinds of intimacy in public, sexual, and social media interactions. Based on the ethnographic, archival, and biographical, his practice mines different visual cultures and found material to understand the failure of systems and the production of counter-systems that bear a glitchy memory of the original. He is interested in the spatiality of desire and what space does to the creation of varying types of desires.
His primary materials are photography, text, and publications. Photography as a tool of re-telling fiction has been of primary focus these last few years. This takes the form of conceptualizing and creating images sculpturally that are shot and take the final form of a photograph. He takes material from the public domain: cruising spaces, legal documents, newspapers, magazines, and social media, and places these in conditions where they play off each other so that new forms of reading can be realized. The manipulation and re-use of objects and images collected from these sources are, in many ways, the premise of his visual practice. This overlaps with his use of collage as form, which simultaneously ‘destructures’ and ‘restructures’ material. In its ability to archive and flatten the mark-making process, collage then becomes that which it seeks to represent.

Drifting with Summer tides
Drifting with the Summer Tides
23 July 2021 - 6 August 2021 — Online @ cfmdc.tv
“Let’s swim to the moon
Let’s climb through the tide
Surrender to the waiting worlds
That lap against our side.”
― Jim Morrison
“A single poem, alone
can turn tides
scatter galaxies
and burst forth with rivers
from paradise.”
― Sanober Khan, A Thousand Flamingos
We’re thrilled to announce the final program of films for the 14th edition of Monitor: Drifting with the Summer Tides.
To kick things off we would like to share a note from our guest curator Rasha Salti:
Sometimes curating is like building a puzzle where you have individual pieces, but the complete picture is for you to guess or make up.
The generous invitation from SAVAC to curate this forthcoming fourteenth edition of Monitor has felt close to that. The work conditions that the pandemic has imposed have perhaps amplified the loneliness of the overall process but watching the impressive number of submissions has also been salutary; each film was an occasion for reverie, drift, to another world, to the artist or filmmaker’s subjective, personal, and finely crafted world.
From drift to drift, the puzzle took the form of a musical composition, with the resonances of each film amplifying, bouncing, or harmonizing as they were strung together.
The proposed program could be described in movements, instead borrowing allegories from tides and waves seemed more apt, in reference to how they imagine, narrate, represent and re-articulate our being in the world within a living environment with relationships to land, water (rivers and oceans), fauna and flora; our being as carriers of memory and of a counter-memory of resistance; our being as carriers of ideology and of struggle.
