MEWNrhwng has been utilising various platforms and methods to explore collaboration as a group since the project has started. During lockdown we have been using online platforms to communicate using messaging, and virtual meetups - enabling us to collaborate remotely. We have been exploring ways of sharing works in progress, our sketchbook ideas and thoughts via instagram @mewnrhwng. An active research video has manifested out of this desire to share our individual research with each other and draw on the content shared and communicated on online communication platforms. Likewise it is a way to explore the experience of collaborating remotely. It is called an active research video as we view it as just that - a platform for no pressure experimentation, a place to explore crossovers and connections.
Version 1 has previously been shared online as part of Symudwedd 1.0, a Gwyl Ffor Arall X CARN collaborations - Ffilmiau Celf Byr / Short Art Films. We plan to share future versions throughout the duration of the project.
The active research video is a collaboration between:
Najia Bagi, Jenny Cashmore, Rebecca F. Hardy and Gemma Lowe.
