We’re excited to share that Corridor has been invited by @take_a_part_uk to join the Creative Coastal Communities Network (CCCN) core group 🌊 The network brings together a really interesting group of organisations and practitioners from across the UK who are using socially engaged arts and creative practice to create meaningful change within coastal communities — something that sits right at the heart of what we care about as Corridor. Now we’ve become a CIC (community interest company) this feels like a timely and important step for us as we continue shaping Corridor’s future strengthening our commitment to collaborative, socially engaged creative practice connected to place and community. Looking forward to the conversations, partnerships and ideas ahead 💙 #CreativeCommunities #SocialPractice #CoastalCommunities #CreativeChange #SociallyEngagedArt

Final couple of weeks left to catch Play Back Forward at Hove Museum of Creativity and experience Portals, a 3 channel video installation by Chahine Fellahi and Annis Joslin. Portals combines archive, found footage, hand drawn super 8 film and new material and responses made by the artists and young people who took part in The Wonder Club, an experimental film club that took place monthly at the museum. Portals, is an immersive passage into the unsettled rhythms of cinema. Here, time stretches, folds, and repeats; fragments of memory collide, and images flicker between light, shadow, and celluloid. Visitors are invited to pause, recline, and drift within these shifting visions, where film becomes a threshold to other ways of seeing and sensing. Sound composition by James Unsworth & Ruairidh Carpenter Films by James Williamson, George Albert Smith and Laura Bayley repurposed in this video work.

Serpentine Trails is a new art work by Chahine Fellahi and Annis Joslin featuring in the exhibition ‘Play Back Forward’. The work explores early cinema’s ability to stretch, fragment, and reshape our perception of time. At its centre is Loïe Fuller’s hypnotic dance, her swirling forms and luminous fabric embodying the fluid expansion and contraction of time. Accompanying the video is a print generated by a custom algorithm (devised by Fellahi) that traces points of motion within the performance, translating them into visual records of movement. The result is a shifting cartography of dance: a mapping of motion that both preserves and transforms the ephemeral flow of the performance. The film repurposed in this video work is Serpentine Dances (1894-5), Edison Co. - Courtesy of Screen Archive South East at the University of Brighton and BFI National Archive 📽️ Annis Joslin and Chahine Fellahi @annisjoslin @kimia.collective Exhibition open until 12 April… Play Back Forward Hove Museum of Creativity, BN3 4AB Free Admission Open: Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 10am – 5pm Play Back Forward is part of the three-year programme Days of Wonder curated and produced by videoclub and Corridor in partnership with Brighton & Hove Museums and Screen Archive South East, with support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Arts Council England, and BFI/Film Hub South East.

Vision Chamber is a new art work by Chahine Fellahi and Annis Joslin featuring in Play Back Forward. It weaves together fragments of early films by the Hove Pioneers with new footage captured through a handmade cardboard camera obscura and recorded digitally. The video sits within a sculptural object echoing the geometry of both a camera obscura and the metal structures supporting Brighton pier. Vision Chamber features films by Laura Bayley, George Albert Smith and James Williamson who were part of the group of early film pioneers of Brighton and Hove working in the city in the late 1890s. The films repurposed in this video work courtesy of Screen Archive South East at the University of Brighton and BFI National Archive.
