Encountering Campscapes: Artist Responses

Screening and discussion of three new screen-based artworks by Michael Branthwaite

The event featured three new video-based artworks created during and in response to a roaming artistic residency with the iC-ACCESS research team. These works have been selected as they feature the three sites where iC-ACCESS success is being celebrated, Westerbork, Treblinka and Lety. Developed alongside a plethora of cross-disciplinary research the artworks all address issues related to the sites that have been highlighted or addressed throughout the project. The artworks address a range of thematics including the afterlife of site, performing archaeology and material culture as witness.

The event featured introductions from Eva Kovacs (Vienna Wiesenthal Institute), Professor Rob van der Laarse (Accessing Campscapes Project Lead, University of Amsterdam) followed by the screening of each artwork followed by a brief discussion session. The event will draw to close with a final round of open questions concluded by Csaba Szilagyi ( Open Society Archives)
