We invite videographic makers, scholars, and artists working in videographic and digital media forms to apply to one of three workshops for Ways of Undoing: Craft, Collaboration, and Videographic Practice, a three-year international initiative exploring how new practices can unsettle hierarchical structures in videographic scholarship.
The project is funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council which makes possible three in-residence workshops in St Andrews (July 2026), Vancouver (July 2027), and Tokyo (May 2028), accompanied by public screenings, exhibitions, and open-access outcomes.
It foregrounds non-hierarchical, process-based ways of knowing and we are looking for makers, scholars and artists working in varied disciplines. Each workshop offers a different and distinct focus connected to their respective host sites, from rethinking archives and collections, to engaging with land-based positionality, to reimagining research through tactile artistic practices.
These are intensive, week-long residential workshops. Participants will complete daily videographic assignments in a collaborative, immersive environment with full-day working hours. Accommodation and board for the workshops is provided through our funding. Participants are responsible for their transportation to and from the workshop. There is a small pool of funds for participants in need for each workshop. Please indicate on the application form if you would like to be considered for funding.
As spots are limited, applicants are invited to apply to one of the three workshops.
The deadline for applying is February 1, 2026. Results will be available March 1. Applications will be evaluated on strengths of their alignment with the workshop themes and the project’s collaborative methodologies.
This is a first-round application. There will be a second and third call each year in January of the 2027 and 2028 workshop cycles to account for local, new-to-videographic criticism applicants, and those who do not know what their next three years look like in terms of schedule, availability, and funding. However, due to the limited number of applications we can accept, we encourage you to apply now.
