LB: 17:30 - ±19:00 EYE Meeting with Simon and Tina Bastajian

  • Tina Bastajian is a Los Angeles born, Amsterdam based media artist, researcher, essayist,

and educator. Her work uses experimental approaches to documentary forms to explore themes of memory, displacement, palimpsest, and the contours of voice and translation. These impulses also coalesce with her artistic research into moving image heritage and (counter) archival constellations and dramaturgies which include interactive documentary, expanded cinema, found-footage practices, and location-based storytelling. Tina currently teaches documentary film studies at Amsterdam University College (AUC) and is an essay tutor at the Sandberg Instituut, Masters of Art and Design program. She has also been a visiting artist/tutor at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), the Dutch Art Institute and Piet Zwart Institute. Her work has been shown internationally from the Beirut International Film Festival to the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (Montreal).
