โลก(ไร้)รูป (IM)MATERIAL WORLDS Tracing creative practice, histories and environmental contexts in artists’ moving image from Southeast Asia and the UK (Im)material worlds is an artists’ moving image programme that gives focus to the environmental crisis from Global South and postcolonial perspectives. It brings together recent and new moving image work by four Southeast Asian and four UK-based artists and filmmakers, who use experimental and essayistic forms to explore communities, habitats and places through their colonial, political, military and environmental histories. Spanning diverse terrains from the Puerto Rican island of Vieques to the peatlands of Cape Wrath in northern Scotland, the Central Highlands of Vietnam, coastal Mindanao in the southern Philippines, Lake Victoria in east Africa, and the route of the Yangon Circular Railway in Myanmar, the films within the programme share critical and pressing concerns that include land privatisation, environmental exploitation, the displacement of peoples, the destruction of ecosystems, the dilution of local traditions and cultures, and the denial of rights.
