How does video activism challenge dominant power structures? In what ways can video be used in social protests that directly impact the livelihoods of those creating the content? This episode looks at the use of video as an activist tool by practicioners from Turkey who moved to Germany after the Gezi Park protests (2013). 'Vıdeoact: The Use of Video as an Activist Tool of Self-Representation for Turkish Practitioners in Germany', a project by Dr. Şirin Fulya Erensoy, Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at Babelsberg Film University since September 2021, supervised by Professor Jens Eder, explores the use of video as a tool of social protest. In conversation with Özlem Sarıyıldız, Video Activist from Turkey, Artist, Filmmaker, Editor, and co-founder of the first web-based video-activist collective from Turkey, KaraHaber, this episode highlights the importance of generating content outside the conventions of mainstream media, creating a collective memory for future generations, as well as the performativity of the practicioners, and its implications for the prospects of social protest. Ultimately, this episode interrogates how academic research can contribute to broadening our understanding of social protest as an audiovisual practice that creates images of protests that ultimately become protest through images.Ultimately, this episode also interrogates how academic research can contribute to broadening our understanding of social protest as an audiovisual practice that creates images of protests that ultimately become protest through images.
