First Cut is a platform for screenings and conversations around independent/radical/experimental films by emerging artists based in The Hague. First Cut calls for transformative films that stem from socio-political inquiries. While The Hague is internationally branded as the city of Peace and Justice, First Cut welcomes audio-visual practices that question and expand this premise. First Cut aims to host artistic interventions and radical responses to our international society and its politics, bridging emerging artists and local communities in The Hague. First Cut invites perspectives from multiple modes of production and backgrounds with which to read our political contexts and reshape a collective imagination. We especially encourage filmmakers with decolonial, feminist, queer and non-normative perspectives to submit their films. First Cut is founded by Cyan Bae, Hattie Wade and Cristina Lavosi.

2019Views From Above Royal Academy of Art The Hague, Netherlands Views from Above is an exhibition of 11 projects developed during a semester-long collaboration between Greenpeace Netherlands and the Non Linear Narrative master programme of the KABK. Together with Greenpeace, students investigated the impact of deforestation by getting to know global interdependencies and risks of climate change linked to the fragile ecosystems of the Brazilian Amazon. To understand the interdependence of factors contributing to deforestation, students reviewed various causes of deforestation and their effects on the climate. Other areas of investigation included marketing and representation of nature, agricultural and industrial exploitation, indigenous land rights and disputes, government corruption and biodiversity loss.

From the Ashes ARIJ The Hague, Netherlands A collaboration with ARIJ, an organisation that brings together investigative journalists from across the MENA region. A group of artists were invited to collaborate with the journalists on their investigations, and three finished artworks were presented in an exhibition at ARIJ's annual conference in Jordan. Summary of From the Ashes: Government policy is creating an incentive to start wildfires in Moroccan forests with devastating losses and irreversible change; not only biodiversity and the lungs of North Africa are lost, but also a way of life. In many of these places villagers are killed and displaced, and European resorts are built in the ruins.

Thy Cities Shall With Commerce Shine--Part I The Hague, Netherlands Heritage is a political resource that is used to create and define a national identity. From a young age, Britons are educated in nationalist pride through sites of heritage—but as these narratives are almost exclusively based on the notion of a heroic past—structural forgetfulness is created by selective memory. Thy Cities Shall With Commerce Shine is a coming four part series of work addressing legislative injustice using one insurance marketplace and their custom Grade I listed building—Lloyd’s of London—as a springboard. Part I Begins by questioning why is it that this building is listed as Britain’s youngest monument? (10min Video installation and 90cmx90cm resin and ash sculpture of Stonehenge)

Brexit News Archive The Hague, Netherlands The idea for the Brexit News Archive dates back to 2018, on the second anniversary of Labour MP Jo Cox’s murder. In 2016, she was killed on the campaign trail for the EU referendum, by a right-wing supremacist shouting ‘Britain first’. In 2018, a debate began about inflammatory language being used in parliament, and the tone this set for the public, and the soundbites that followed in the British press. Printed press in the UK is largely unregulated, which is precisely why it needs scrutiny. The Brexit News Archive aims to be a publicly accessible tool in order to conduct research surrounding printed news articles relating to Brexit. Its current form collects news from 5 major British newspapers spanning 5 years between the referendum and Brexit.

Tunnel Vision The Hague, Netherlands Landscape has traditionally been thought of as the Vista, but the way in which we have documented and observed these landscapes has developed and changed since the Middle Ages. Tunnel Vision investigates a Golden Rhine Guilder, found in a dig, south of The Hague, owned not by nobilitiy, but by a man who bought the land. This period in the Netherlands marked the beginning of the turn from Fuedalism to capitalism. Land markets took off, introducing land as a commodity. This past we can excavate, document, reconstruct and speculate upon, however, our present urban landscape is neither artefact nor heritage. The Rotterdamsebaan, also known as the Victory Boogie Woogie Tunnel, named after Mondriaans last unfinished work, inserts itself into this narrative using cultural notions of heritage to blend into the landscape. (7 min video installation in collaboration with Mauro Tosarelli)

Nature as Capital - The Sky is the Limit The Hague, Netherlands The Sky is the Limit investigates how Brazilian nature is turned into a commodity, commonly owned and exploited by foreign stakeholders. Using reports of global investment firms like Haravard Endowment Fund. The research emanated in a series of complex diagrams which explained complex connections between Western Investment firms and their ownership and speculation on land, gas and carbon in the Amazon region. The works brings seemingly abstract unrelated networks to life in order to expose the hidden relations of the agents of deforestation. (12 min Video and 2mx2mx5m engraved hanging mobile)

Laissiez-mer The Hague In the 19th Century 'papier peints panoramiques’ came into popularity in Europe. They are hand printed wallpapers depicting scenes such as ‘Les Vues du Brésil’ (The Views of Brazil). This consist of imagined ‘exotic’ scenes from colonial and imperialist conquest. The colonial trade turned human bodies into cargo, into an insurable object, to a standard unit. Standardisation, now computerisation/bureaucratic assemblance of a human body as a unit still continues in the migrant crisis. This is still grounded in colonisation, which confounded the birth of the Nation State. This wallpaper consists of computer generated images created using a GAN (Generative Automated Network), fed images from the media of the refugee crisis. Similar removals from reality to imagined scenes, bodies start to merge into one, into a blurry dot in the distance.
