P.O.L.E.

Involved with various modes of creative production, Pole is a collective which seeks functional forms of collaboration. In Pole, nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes. Pole makes it possible for us to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as we have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.

P.O.L.E.
We know and repeatedly analyze a host of issues with commercial social media and digital labour, but little attention is paid to efforts at building alternatives, such as community-run social media and other forms of de-platformization.
Against the totality of networks and corporately owned social media, what are workable strategies and ethical approaches that allow for alternative ways for our social life to emerge?
Considering the changing nature of work under global capitalism and the role of female labour, the film ‘Some Women, Other Women and all the Bittermen’ (2014, dir. Rehana Zaman) is a contentious and highly engaging adoption of the conventions of British soap opera place alongside footage documenting meetings of migrant women in the UK at the self-led organisation Justice for Domestic Workers in Leeds.
