Artist Talk Social: Sharlene Bamboat

Artist Talk: Collaborative aesthetics in moving-image & sound practice

Sharlene Bamboat will speak about the collaborations that sustain and foster her art practice, from her long-term collaboration as part of Bambitchell, her symbiotic work style alongside cast and crew in her work, through to the arts organizations she has worked with.

She will reflect on the aesthetics and tensions of collaboration through her practice, as paralleled with the merging of sound, image and text in her works.

Zooming in and out of work and life, Sharlene will speak to the necessity, and political nature of collaboration as queer and feminist practice.
