This episode is a conversation between the three members of the curatorial and research initiative Counter Encounters; Laura Huertas Millán, Onyeka Igwe & Rachael Rakes. Together they engage forms of anti and alter ethnographies in cinema and contemporary art. Laura is a Colombian artist and filmmaker based in Brussels, Onyeka is a London born and based moving image artist and researcher, and Rachael is a curator and writer from the US.

You will hear the group reflect on their recent collaborative work called Ritual Unions, held at Netwerk Aalst in Belgium. The program was designed around filmmaker Maya Deren's work, titled 'Ritual and Transfigured Time'. In the conversation they also explore themes of ethnography, movement, history, and ritual. And they discuss where they would like to take their collective practice in the future.

This series is produced and edited by Hester Cant.

The series is co-curated by Emma McCormick-Goodhart and Martin Hargreaves, with concept and direction by Martin Hargreaves and Izzy Galbraith.
