In November 2022, Index presented a ten-day exhibition, FILMS AGAINST CAPITALISM, which featured five video projects including sculptural video works, that all sprang from research conducted by the artist Melanie Gilligan during her PhD studies at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.
In the conversation Melanie Gilligan teams up with Marti Manen, director at Index, and Petra Bauer, Head of Department of Research and Further Education in Architecture and Fine Art at the Royal Institute of Art. They talk about moving from fiction to documentary methods, of affective and associative knowledge, and about what the film medium can offer in the struggle against capitalism.
