Migration, Mobilities, Displacements Inaugural Annual Lecture, co-hosted with the Centre for Research Architecture (Cancelled)
In this lecture, Campt builds on her recent work on listening to images by engaging a key concept of what she calls “black visual frequency” through an exploration of still-moving-images: images that hover between still and moving images; animated still images, slowed or stilled images in motion or visual renderings that blur the distinctions between these multiple genres; images that require the labour of feeling with or through them.
