Research students exhibition catalogue 2011
The catalogue demonstrates the scope and vibrancy
of current inquiries and pays tribute to the creative
capacity and investment of UCA research students.
It brings together contributions from students who
are at different stages in their research ad/venture.
Their explorations are connected by the centrality of
contemporary material practices as focal point
for the reconsideration of societal values, cultural
symbols and rituals and their meaning, and the
trans/formation of individual, collective and national
identities The media and formats employed range
from cloth, jewellery and ceramics to analogue film,
the human voice and the representation of dress and
fashionin virtual environments. Thematic interests
span from explorations at the interface of art and
medical science to an investigation of the role of art
in contested spaces, or the role of metonymy in āhow
the arts thinkā And whilst the projects are motivated
by personal curiosity and passion, their outcomes
transcend the boundaries of individual practice and
offer new insights, under-standing and applications
for the benefit of wider society. Prof. Kerstin Me

Cinema of poverty: Independence and simplicity in an age of abundance and complexity
Over the past 25 years of writing, producing and directing, my aspirations as a creative artist in film have shifted from a paradigm in which the scale and scope of financial and human resources shaped not only the creative intentions of a project, but the very definition of what made something ācinematicā, to a new paradigm in which poverty - both in terms of resources and, more philosophically, in terms of artistic expression - has become one of the defining features of my artistic aspiration and my understanding of a new cinema. This development has interacted with parallel developments in technologies of production, distribution and exhibition, of a kind and scale I never envisaged when first embarking on a career in film, and has, for me, led to a kind of creative liberation which I am only now beginning to fully understand.
Traditionally, human and financial resources have been considered essential for the production of quality, creative narrative films. In this article, I shall reflect on my own practice to explore how poverty can enhance the creative engagement with the medium and lead to the development of new and innovative approaches to, amongst other things, narrative imagery and, in so doing, explore how poverty can introduce new and original approaches to cinematic story-telling

Recovery From Design
Through research, inquiry, and an evaluation of Recovery By Design, a ādesign therapyā program that serves people with mental illness, substance use disorders, and developmental disabilities, it is my assertion that the practice of design has therapeutic potential and can aid in the process of recovery. To the novice, the practices of conception, shaping form, and praxis have empowering benefit especially when guided by Conditional and Transformation Design methods together with an emphasis on materiality and vernacular form
