Image description: A banner hand-drawn in pencil reads: “As a cultural organisation in Scotland we pledge to support PACBI The Palestinian Campaign For the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel”. Pencil-drawings of flowers including tulips and the Palestinian poppy adorn the banner

Collective Text renew our pledge to PACBI, alongside over 150+ Scottish cultural organisations. In the face of the ongoing genocide and the recent abhorrent break of the ceasefire this pledge is the bare minimum we can do - boycotts work!

Other ways you can support:

Organise in your workplace, remove affiliations with products on the BDS (boycott divest sanction) list
Donate to crisis relief and Crips for eSims for Gaza
Groups such as Artworkers for Palestine Scotland have lists of suggested workplace actions. @artworkersforpalestinescotland

No culture without Palestinian culture!
Palestinian Liberation is a Disability Justice issue!

We are highlighting the audio description of two artworks in Camara Taylor’s [mouthfeel] at @glasgowtramway. This exhibition ends on Sunday August 18th. The gallery is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

The first is an extract of the AD for ‘Falls’:
“This is the first of three lecterns, designed by Camara and fabricated by Slaghammers, a feminist welding collective, prioritising women, trans and non-binary people in Glasgow. Slaghammer members cut, bent, welded and sanded steel tubes and sheets to form the lecterns. Each one has a rectangular base, a pair of legs and a slanted book stand on the top with a shelf edge.

It’s unusual because of its thin, ungainly legs around 5cm in diameter. It’s a metre tall and its tubular legs begin evenly spaced apart then bend or fall dramatically inwards. Where the legs touch gives the impression of human knees awkwardly or coquettishly knocking together. At this point of contact the colour has peeled away to expose a shiny silver. They flare outwards again, returning to dark industrial grey and finally connect to the base.”

At the gallery, audio description (AD) of the exhibition can be accessed via mp3 players with headphones. The AD deep dives into 10 artworks ranging from photographic prints to a rum-infused waterfall. The total running time of the AD is 32 minutes 55 seconds, divided into 13 tracks. Visual descriptions are peppered with insight from the artist and historical context. The AD was written in collaboration and consultation with @kirin_saeed, a visually impaired actor, playwright and disability activist.

We encourage you to explore the full audio guide in the gallery or at home. Visit the link in our bio for the audio guide, as well as transcripts for each video.

RePosted from @granduniongallery - We’re open this week showing A Bedroom for Everyone by Ed Webb-Ingall. Come to see this newly commissioned work Wednesday 2-5 pm, and Thursday to Saturday 12-5 pm. ⁠

A Bedroom for Everyone has been in development since 2019 and began as Forming a Resident’s Association, a research group made up of housing activists from Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Nottingham.⁠

The project explores the power of grassroots activism and organising in the face of the ongoing housing crisis emergency; whilst making space for the camaraderie that unfolds in the community centres and meeting halls where this work takes place.⁠

This work has been made in collaboration with lead illustrator Sofia Niazi and award-winning animator Astrid Goldsmith.⁠

The screen shows a row of animated people holding placards reading slogans such as ‘Housing for all,’ and ‘Repair don’t demolish'. Behind the animated people is a black-and-white image of a real housing protest; people holding placards and buildings are visible. At the top of the screen, a caption reads ‘(protestors blow whistles and chant)’ in yellow capital letters on a black background.]’

We helped create animated captions for Ed Webb Ingall’s radio play, ‘Growing up B(r)ent’ which is showing at Willesden Green library as part of ‘IN THE HOUSE OF MY LOVE’, Brent Biennial.

Made in close collaboration with Mosaic LGBT+ Young Persons’ Trust, the piece was inspired by delving into Mosaic’s history, drawing on a forgotten archive of the community group.

The installation is open until Sunday 11th October.

Welcome to the swirling worlds within worlds of wūûūwūûū by Rae-Yen Song!
🌀
The short film is a hallucinatory hand-drawn (pen & fibre tipped marker) animation where wonderful cartoon-like creatures float, wobble, drip, gloop and chomp. This was one of the most fun collaborations of 2021 and a true collective effort creating languages for the dizzying soundtrack and visuals. The link is in our bio for the captioned version via @bbcarts - an audio described version will soon be available.
🦠
Captions and audio description by Collective Text with Rae Yen Song, Michael Barr, Bea Webster and QUIPLASH.

wūûūwūûū was commissioned by Lux Scotland & BBC for Now & Next
🧡
“the words of this interpretation slip and slide and spin, because this place won't keep still.”

Image descriptions:

1 - Four magenta nipple-pointed heads, wobble, gelatinous, across a spiraling painted green void . Subtitle: (drippy glooping)
2 - A dusky purple expanse, a multi-limbed being - many-faced, twisted-tongued, teal-green - levitates in a yogic squat. The being’s mouth-belly (beneath hypnotic red-nippled breast-eyes) chomps with stained teeth, regurgitating lurid green vomit.
Subtitle: (rumbling retch)
3 - Neon cellular droplets of various shapesfloat in a dark space-like void. One porous jelly shape could be a foetus, orange in color.
Subtitle: (twaaaang!)

Very excited to share with the world… Premiering this weekend at Berwick Film Festival and Open City Docs , If From Every Tongue It Drips, a film by Sharlene Bamboat in collaboration with many others! So honoured to have been invited into the process of what was a truly collaborative journey in translation, across sound/poetry/politics.

The premiere features integrated captions & sound descriptions made by Collective Text.

Captions made with Amy Helena, Ciaran Stewart, Sharif Elsabagh, Amy Cheskin, Emilia Beatriz; sound descriptions written in collaboration with Sharlene Bamboat, Nick Dourado and Aaditya Agarawal.

From Berwick website;
“Made between Sri Lanka, Canada and Scotland , If From Every Tongue It Drips is assembled through a call and response exchange of sound, text and image. Interested in the framework of voice, vibration, time, sound and language that quantum physics explores, Bamboat’s new film emerges from an exchange of theoretical entanglements but is practiced and rendered through bodily ones.”

67 minutes, available to watch online through 30 September, £5/7.50

Image descriptions:
1. film still; green foliage blurred in motion,
taken from a moving vehicle, edge of a concrete road just visible
a title in white in Tamil, Urdu and English
'if from every tongue it drips'
2. a person sits on a wooden rocking chair in a bright orange room
sunshine spilling in, the person in chair is half out of frame, arms hold a piece of paper, legs crossed, toes pointing upward, bright orangey-yellow caption reads
'Time isn't what it used to be.'
captions in light green at bottom right
reads 'salt & fresh waters trickle into each other'
3. a view down a palm lined dusty street in Batticaloa, cyclists in far distance,
caption in bright yellow at bottom centre reads
'joyous melodies overlap like crashing waves'
4. Video still, video tape glitching distorted lines across archival footage of Iqbal Bano singing “Hum Dekenge.”

Remembering back to “Bläue/Blueness” (2017) by Kerstin Schroedinger
💙💙💙💙💙
“Juxtaposing images of the production sites of the pharmaceutical-chemical industry with speculations on the historical, social, and material conditions of Cyanotype photography, “Bläue” (Blueness) probes into the (gendered) politics of materiality and the (violent) historicities of its form.”

The audio version with visual descriptions of Bläue is available for listening on SoundCloud (link in bio)

the captioned film available on schroedinger.blackblogs.org/links-to-works-online/

[Image description;
1) A still from the film: The image is washed in dark blue, a rectangle of light in the centre. A nude figure stands facing away from the camera, the outline of her back and shoulders barely discernible. A projection of light illuminates the bright rectangle on her shoulders, creating an abstract liquid pattern made by cyanotype printed on 16mm film. Large blocky quotation marks are stuck onto the person’s back, framing the projection. Another set of hands adjust the bottom-right quotation mark, a couple of fingers catching the light. Also projected onto the small of the back, below the projected image, is a caption in glowing pink that reads: “The toxic soil is awaiting its exposure.”

2 & 3 one poster is split across two images. On the left, a still from the film with a figure in a flourescent vest standing in a dark room with a projected image falling across her body, she hold a script . White captions read # F.....e....e....l.....

On the right of the poster, text with three various interpretations of the image:

“AUDIO DESCRIPTION: 22:41 - 22:44 X stands up, changing position as she sings. /

ARTISTS SCRIPT: 00:22:46:20
X gets up and starts singing in a Method acting exercise; each syllable sungon one note held as long as possible.
‘Without feeling the pain the hurt gets more’ /

CAPTIONS:
staggered beat, (X sings monotone, draws out each word. # W....i....t....h....

Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media.
