At Home With . . . A Collaborative Filmmaking Project Made With Artists From Migratory Backgrounds
Abstract
, a collaborative film series that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic and engaged migrant artists in the United Kingdom as co-authors in a reimagining of home through moving image. We position participatory film practices as both aesthetic and ethical interventions into dominant visual narratives. By inviting participants to film their daily routines, the project shifted from documentation to a decentralized, artist-led practice that foregrounds situated and multisensory understandings of home. We argue that this approach offers an alternative representational and methodological space-one that acknowledges the complexity of migration while resisting reductive framings.
