Start with a Place
Gisela Mulindwa
Working with archival sound from the 1960s – 1980s, Gisela Mulindwa's Start with a Place reveals how decades of gentrification has transformed areas of south London beyond recognition. Created with photographs taken by the artist in Brixton, Croydon and Peckham, the film is a collaged snapshot that exposes the deep roots of a crisis that is continuing to price local people out of the capital
Gisela Mulindwa (she/they) is an experimental animator and visual artist based in London. A graduate in Animation from Edinburgh College of Art, her practice takes an experimental mixed media approach to animation, working between stop motion, collage, paint and analogue film to create dense and complex textures. She challenges social expectations around identity to unravel the relationship between self, other and the unconscious, revealing a world shaped by magical realism.
Mulindwa’s work has screened at festivals including the Edinburgh International Film Festival and Tricky Women Animation Festival, and she was commissioned to produce animations for the AKO Caine Prize for African Writing in 2021 and 2022. Committed to challenging audience expectations of what animation can be, her work as an animator has led to moving image commissions for theatre projects at Theatre Peckham and Vault Festival.
