Practices of belonging, practices of place: Conversations in film & research<\/em><\/a><\/strong>
\nWednesday 08 November 2017
\n12.30 PM – 8.00 PM
\nGoldsmiths, London
\nSE14 6NW<\/strong>
\nAttendance is free, registration via Eventbrite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alone Together, the Social Life of Benches<\/em><\/a> illuminates the thoughts and memories of frequent users of two public spaces in London: General Gordon Square, Woolwich and St Helier Open Space, Sutton.<\/p>\n

Revolving around the micro-space of the humble bench, the emotional and experiential capacity of film is used to highlight themes such as the feeling of being in a space, the rhythm and flow of visitors to a place, and the importance of design for everyday street furniture.<\/p>\n

The film acts like a stranger who joins you on a bench to \u2018watch the world go by\u2019, and break the ice by starting a conversation with their fellow bench user.<\/p>\n

Esther Johnson<\/a> works at the intersection of artist moving image and documentary. Her poetic portraits focus on marginal worlds, revealing resonant stories that may otherwise remain hidden or ignored. Work has been exhibited internationally in 40 countries, and has also featured on television and radio. In 2012 Johnson won the Philip Leverhulme Prize in Performing and Visual Arts for young scholars. She is a Professor of Film & Media Art at Sheffield Hallam University.
