Exhibition: Care-Arbeit erzählbar machen

In the context of social transformation processes, care activities are increasingly being assigned a central political function. In the everyday life of care and health professionals, knowledge acquired through professional practice plays an important role, which has so far been underrepresented in scientific discussions. The mLAB at the Institute of Geography at the University of Bern and the Master’s program in Transdisciplinarity at the Zurich University of the Arts have approached the topic of care across disciplinary boundaries with a new teaching format. The films produced by the students can be viewed here:

 

School of Social Work (BFH):

Film installation: 4-17 May, Monday – Friday, CafeTERIA “HalleR”, basement, Hallerstrasse 10, 3012 Bern

Opening with snacks: May 4, 1 p.m.

With Prof. Dr. Susan Thieme (Director of the Department of Geography), Luca Tschiderer and Mirko Winkel (Institute of Geography and mLAB) and students of the course “Film and Geography”

 

School of Health Professions (BFH):

Film installation 10–16 May and on the occasion of the Day of Care on 12th of May, we will show the films at the School of Health Professions (Bern University of Applied Sciences), International Lounge, 6th floor, Schwarztorstrasse 48, 3007 Bern

Discussion: May 16. 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Room 404, Schwarztorstrasse 48, 3007 Bern

With Prof. Dr. Sabine Hahn (Head of the Department of Nursing), Prof. Irene Vögeli (Co-Head of the Master Transdisciplinarity, ZHdK), Prof. Dr. Susan Thieme (Critical Sustainability Research, Co-Head  of mLAB), Luca Tschiderer (PhD student, Critical Sustainability Research “Future of Work”) and students of the course “Film and Geography”

As part of the discussion, excerpts from the films will be used to discuss the potential of film for a critical examination of the topic of care work. What possibilities does the medium offer to bring together creative and different perspectives on this subject and to make them negotiable in a broader public?

The films were produced as part of the “Film and Geography” course. The course was led by Mirko Winkel, Luca Tschiderer, Susan Thieme, Irene Vögeli, Nora Longatti, Judith Weidmann and Jana Thierfelder.

With films by Marc Amrein, Nando Aneas Fernandez, Nathaly Blaser, Andri Buchli, Johanna Bühler, Seraina Campell, Oliver Carrilo Dyla, Nikolaj Endrich, Hannah Eßler, Yannic Essoungou Bony Malong, Noah Gmelch, Ula Liagaite,Özlem Pamuk, Anja Ruckstuhl, Colin Rytz, Jehisson Santacruz  Giraldo, Michael Wehrli, Lena Widmer.
