Hi everyone,
Sorry I'm coming to the party so late. I'm so glad to be part of this group and participate in the ongoing discussion. I work with Anna as the Video Production Assistant at BPOC. Having just graduated in June and literally starting my internship the day after graduation, I'm pretty new on the scene however very interested in getting more involved and being part of the discussion that is being formed about production in museums.
On a day to day basis I generally edit any documented lectures, art talks and other events that occur within the park. I also assist Anna on shoots for larger productions. I have also helped with file management and backing footage up. Pretty simple, yet something that was new to me as I entered the position.
As a performance artist with a background in ethnic studies, I am interested in the formation of identity, particularly the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality, as it is formed in different institutions and spaces. I am very interested in the museum space as a site of questioning new and old assumptions about art and artistic practice and I think what we are doing here, and the idea of video production in museums in general, is one that is very interesting.
I am very excited to learn from all of you and glad to be part of the community.
Andrew, so happy to have you join us! I am looking forward to hearing you speak more about identity- I think it is an issue that is being tackled with online video and is a great reason museums can use the tool to address their audiences so effectively. Looking forward to hearing more!
