Video making workshop facilitated by artists Gair Dunlop and Pernille Spence

Routine and sometimes invisible, labour is happening everywhere at every moment of the day. Carers, writers, cleaners, artists, computer programmers, taxi drivers, mothers, and strikers; hidden or in plain sight everyone works but where and how is this labour seen?

Inspired by Labour in a Single Shot, a documentary video workshop initiated by Antje Ehmann and Harun Farocki that has occurred in 15 cities worldwide since 2011, artists and filmmakers Gair Dunlop and Pernille Spence will lead a practical video making workshop inviting participants to make a two-minute film that considers perceptions, practices and conditions of labour in our day-to-day life.

This free workshop is open to anyone over 17 years old with any level of experience of working with video using camcorders or phone cameras.
