How do we look at animals? – Decolonising Documentary Art Practices and the Global Crisis for Donkeys

| description | This article poses the question ‘How do we look at animals?’, suggesting a link to inherent problems of documentary film-making. However, the question further suggests that there may be ways of relating to animals other than ‘looking at’; other than ‘observing’. Drawing from the research project De-Doc-Donkeywork: Decolonising Documentary Art Practices and the Global Crisis for Donkeys, the article offers a reflection upon how specific art-practice-led research is brought into education. The interrelatedness of art practice, research, theory and pedagogy allows for connections to be identified between the decaying borders of disciplines, documental knowledges, and possibilities of decolonising our relation to animals. At the core is a problem of ‘coloniality’ related to film education: the domination of documentary concerns and valances through film discourse. The documental is identified as an epistemic practice that can reorganise extra-disciplinary resources into collaborating collectives in research and education, allowing for new ways of knowing ‘donkey’. |
