students' program IV - resounding resistance

Pro­gram IV / Resound­ing Resistance  Through this spe­cial pro­gram, mem­bers of the Stu­dents’ Plat­form wish to create and foster a space for those who find them­selves in the com­plex con­di­tions of threat, vio­lence, and dis­lo­ca­tion, yet con­tin­ue to craft works under those com­pro­mised circumstances.  The select­ed works emerge as indi­vid­ual reac­tions and nar­ra­tives that posi­tion them­selves within the col­lec­tive and strive for the vis­i­bil­i­ty of unheard voices from their spe­cif­ic local con­texts. The films embody these prin­ci­ples while con­sid­er­ing dif­fer­ent geo­graph­i­cal con­texts, his­tor­i­cal peri­ods and modes of resis­tance and resilience. Through their lenses, they offer insights into per­son­al, every­day strug­gles and the nav­i­ga­tion of these chal­lenges, demon­strat­ing that resilience is prac­ticed and expressed through var­i­ous actions. Resound­ing Resis­tance aspires for the trans­for­ma­tion of indi­vid­ual acts of resis­tance into strength­ened col­lec­tive respons­es, there­by expand­ing the Stu­dents’ Plat­form as a space of sol­i­dar­i­ty and com­mu­ni­ty against exclu­sion, for­get­ting and silencing.
