Pixelache Helsinki wants to bring key members of ZEMOS98 collective from Seville, Spain to the 2016 edition of their festival, to introduce the concept of CopyLove to Helsinki and Finland.
ZEMOS98 will bring feminist-orientated care and warmth, Remix for Bien común (Remix for the Commons), Commons spirit and Love to the North. In particular they will share their Audiovisual Source Code (Código Fuente Audiovisual) format and approach.
During Zemos98 visit to Helsinki we will organize several events in the framework of the Pixealache Festival. We will be disseminating open practices and open formats for audiovisual creation that we firmly believe contribute to cocreate ways of performing multicultural understanding, increase the connections between south-north and allow us all to contribute to much needed empathy and care in the world.
Descripción del proyecto. Características, fortalezas y diferenciales.
During Zemos98 visit to Pixalache festival in Helsinki we will organize:
3 public presentation events in Helsinki on the topic of CopyLove and Interfaces for Empathy. The events will take place during the Pixelache festival days 22-25.9.2016. They will be live-streamed, and the documentation archived online with commons-orientated licenses. One of the events will be in Spanish, and the other two in English. All the events will be simultaneously translated to another language (either English or Finnish).
+
1 CopyLove workshop (registration-based), on the topic of Caring for Each Other and Interdependence. In the workshop we will crowdsource ideas and approaches towards promoting care-economics and caring commons and we will co-design and co-produce an open manual. This manual will be shared post-event with text content variably in English, Spanish and Finnish.
Motivación y a quién va dirigido el proyecto
CopyLove and Empathy are themes that speak to current environment of tension, division and isolation that communities feel are encroaching their everyday lives. Instead, Pixelache festival creates a different narrative of collaboration and empathy that we think will greatly benefit from the input of our colleagues from Zemos98
To bring Zemos98 to Pixelache we want to reach put to:
- Citizens worried about increasing intolerance in Finnish society and want to support concrete actions that create new narratives
2: Alternative Economy Cultures -oriented initiatives, including crowdfunding & feminist/care economics that want to cross-polinate their thinking across europe.
-
Spanish-speaking community in the Finnish metropolitan-region.
-
The Open/AvoinGLAM and AV practitioners, activists and researchers that want to learn more about CopyLove audiovisiol production
Objetivos de la campaña de crowdfunding
-
Develop, disseminate and encourage CopyLove audiovisual format as a way to talk and generate empathy
-
Connections between north-south
Experiencia previa y equipo
We are brother-sister festivals that only recently met after all our time apart. We care
Pixelache people have been making their festival since 2002 in Helsinki, Finland. Zemos98 people have been making their festival since 1998 in Sevilla, Finland. Both have grown up to absorb transdisciplinary subjects, and to promote Caring for the Commons around the same time (2014-2015). ZEMOS98 took the theme CopyLove as it’s festival theme in years 2012-2013 and made a successful related Goteo campaign. ZEMOS98 no longer produces a festival but focuses on other projects and has consolidated a good network around this topics in the south. Pixelache Festival in Helsinki is partly supported by the Finnish Ministry of Culture and Education and City of Helsinki, this year the full-time and part-time staff employed by the association are also co-directors of the festival (Petri Ruikka and Mari Keski-Korsu respectively). Pixelache has strong presence in the north
