The Walk and Talk

ICA Infrequencies

04/30/24 • 36 min

This episode was recorded in early July 2023 and features a discussion between Twayna Mayne and a group of sixth form students from one of nearby secondary schools. Before the recording we went for a short walk together, bits of which you’ll hear throughout, and explored some of the environment local to the ICA. Along the way we talked about the ICA’s location on the Mall, the history of the building it’s currently in and how the 2020 show by the American conceptual artist Cameron Rowland’s made links between this and Britain’s wider colonial history.

Filmmaking as women: Glitch Feminism

ICA Infrequencies

06/19/23 • 7 min

Part 3. Discussions from filmmakers responding to what Legacy Russell’s Glitch Feminism idea and how they use it in their practice.

‘Being a black woman in the world means a lot is expected and asked of you... the place I can set my strongest boundaries is in the digital realm’ ‘Apps like Natural Cycle where suddenly we’re using technology to liberate our bodies from traditional medicine and that in a scewed way maybe is a form of cyber-feminism and enters into that world’

Featured short films by artists Salome Asega, Ain Bailey, Anaïs Duplan, Caspar Heinemann, shawné michaelain holloway, Zarina Muhammad, E. Jane, Jenn Nkiru, Tabita Rezaire and Victoria Sin.

Glitch Feminism embraces the causality of 'error' and turns the gloomy implication of 'glitch' on its ear by acknowledging that an error in a social system disturbed by economic, racial, social, sexual, cultural stratification, and the imperialist wrecking-ball of globalization—processes that continue to enact violence on all bodies – may not be 'error' at all, but rather a much-needed erratum.

Recorded 17 November 2017.

Filmmaking as women: On performing

ICA Infrequencies

06/12/23 • 21 min

Part 2. Both Subrin and Syms create narrative works about how women are presented and documented through film and social media.

A Woman, a Part, dir. Elisabeth Subrin, USA 2017 (starts at 17 sec.)

‘I was thinking a lot about performance and what it requires within capitalism to be a person in an economy where you have to perform to survive... I don’t think one can be completely authentic and actually make a living.’‘People don’t change in ninety minutes, I wanted the film to talk about how hard it is to change.’

The feature-length narrative debut of filmmaker and artist Elisabeth Subrin. The film is a critique of how women are portrayed in media, the ways in which personal relationships intertwine with and shape the creative process, and the difficulty of change – all set against a gentrifying New York City.

Recorded 7 July 2017.

Incense, Sweaters & Ice, dir. Martine Syms, USA 2017 (starts at 13 min. 11 sec.)

‘Many women are required to perform emotional labour to succeed, or are expected to.’

Shot on location in Los Angeles, Chicago and Clarksdale, Mississippi, the new feature-length work by artist Martine Syms travels from the rural South to the Northeast, Midwest and West, following routes of the 20th century Great Migration of African-Americans. This multi-location narrative is never overtly region-specific, yet is psychogeography in origin. Similarly, ambiguous, the camera occupies multiple vantages in the film including WB, the interviewer and the omnipotent observer, serving to chart the ways we document ourselves and the lives of others.

Recorded 2 November 2017.
