ARTS Southeast is pleased to host Brydie O’Conner in the ON::View Residency from September 12th - October 4th, 2024.artssoutheast.org/brydie-oconnor
About the Artist: Brydie O’Connor (New York, NY)
Brydie O’Connor is a Kansas-born, NY based filmmaker and archivist. Her award-winning work focuses on women-driven and queer stories. Brydie’s work has been supported by The Future of Film Is Female, Hot Docs, Dok.Leipzig, Ji.hlava IDFF, NYFA, NYSCA, Brooklyn Arts Council, DocsBarcelona, ArtsKC, and the Stonewall Foundation, and has screened at places such as The Museum of Modern Art, BFI, & DOC NYC. Most recently, Brydie was selected as the recipient of the Hulu/Kartemquin Accelerator with her debut feature documentary, and she is developing two new projects in the UFO Short Film Lab. She is a graduate of The George Washington University, and has developed her work at both the Arts Letters & Numbers Residency (2022) and the Provincetown Film Society Queer Filmmakers Residency (2024). She is currently in production on her debut feature documentary on pioneering lesbian experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer, executive produced by Killer Films.
About the Project:
During her Residency, Brydie will continue her work on "THE ROAMING CENTER FOR MEMORY," a piece from digitized archival elements that show queer life in the South and in the Midwest, blended with oral histories of queer folks reflecting on their own histories in real time. In the studio, she will present video vignettes of archival videos blended with contemporary oral histories, along with imagery of how the archival is being digitized in the present. This will consist of experimental video pieces that reference how the past and process leads us into a future that includes a broader scope of queer history. Brydie will also host archiving workshops on how to digitize and create your own archival collections, both as an artist and an individual who would like to create alternative histories through archiving.
The ON::View Residency is made possible with investment by the City of Savannah. This program is sponsored in part by Georgia Council for the Arts through the appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly. Georgia Council for the Arts also receives support from its partner agency - the National Endowment for the Arts. Special thanks to our local Residency Sponsors: Starlandia Supply, SCAD Museum of Art, Telfair Museums,
Green Truck Pub and Starland Yard.
