Following a proposition made by Catherine Perret and Anna Seiderer, to artist Alexander Schellow, the collective will implicate the participants, in the construction of a participative archive of private films produced in colonial contexts – and the questions that the constitution of such an archive raises. The initiators of this artistic research project invite students to participate in the elaboration of practises and gestures, through which they will question these images.
On Thursday 31st May from 7pm, a public viewing will be held; so as to share the different processes end reflections that have come out the collective’s residence.
With : Miléna Desse, Arthur Gillet, Maxime Jean-Baptiste, Alexander Schellow, Anna Seiderer, Pierre Voland, Antje Van Wichelen.
The artistic research project “Hors cadres” is lead by a collective of artists, teachers, curators and researchers, formed in February 2016.
Hors cadres was born out of the pressing desire to setup spaces and moments of reflection around the colonial past, through the study of films produced towards the end of XIX centaury, during the first hours of independence in the old colonies of European power.
Having worked initially on films backed by colonial governments, created for political propaganda ends, by missionaries, created for evangelical ends and by researchers as part of scientific missions, the collective will from now on be concentrating at family films shot on film cameras. The interest for these unknown cinematic productions lies in the spontaneity of the gest. Even if these private archives are exempt of the propaganda, voluntarily used by colonial states, the traces are still present. The private nature of these films allows us to decentralise our gaze from the discourse imposed by the official ideologies and offers us more singular and intimate readings of History.
The artistic practices that we will develop around these family archives will allow us to engage in a collective reflection around the processes of recall and forgetting that they generate and crystallise today.

This ICIA has been carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Islands (Scotland) Act 2018. Section 13 of the 2018 Act obliges the Scottish Ministers to prepare an ICIA in relation to legislation which, in their opinion, is likely to have an effect on an island community which is significantly different from its effect on other communities in Scotland.
The findings in this summary are based on desk-based research, the formal analysis of the consultation on the NCS, and further stakeholder engagement and feedback that took place after the NCS consultation.
The NCS Bill sets out the provisions necessary for the Scottish Ministers to establish a National Care Service to exercise responsibility for planning, commissioning and delivering social work and social care support services and for planning and commissioning of community health services, with Health Boards continuing to deliver community health services. The details of the design of the NCS will be established by working collaboratively with people with lived and living experience of the social care system to ensure that it operates in a way that supports those it is designed to help. The input of current delivery partners and stakeholders will be important to the co-design process. Many of the provisions in the Bill relating to the NCS are therefore powers to introduce secondary legislation, which will be based on the outcome of that further engagement and co-design with people with lived experience, delivery partners, and key stakeholders. Certain elements of the structures of the NCS, such as establishing the national structure as a directorate within the Scottish Government or an executive agency, do not require legislation and so provisions relating to these elements are not contained in the Bill, but are still addressed below.
In addition to setting out the provisions necessary to create the structures and governance arrangements for the NCS, the Bill also sets out provisions relating to: transfer of functions to the NCS; information standards and care records, complaints, breaks from caring, visiting rights in care homes, ethical commissioning, and the regulation of social services.
The ICIA process demonstrates that the Bill, as introduced, will likely have a positive impact and that the impact on island communities will be similar to those living in mainland Scotland. However, it also highlights that most impacts from these reforms to social care will come from regulations developed on the basis of the provisions of the Bill. As set out in this impact assessment, these regulations will be developed in conjunction with further engagement with people with lived and living experience of social care alongside delivery partners and key stakeholders, including those in island communities, and will be subject to further impact assessment, where appropriate. This approach will allow for details of the NCS to be co-designed with those who access support and those who provide it in order to close the historic gap between legislative intent and delivery. This, in turn, will help to ensure that the actions needed to realise the benefits of the reforms and to mitigate potential negative impacts for island communities are identified.
The Advertising and Public Relations major program received four Student Life Awards this year.
The 2018 GVSU NSAC Team.
team travelled to South Bend, Indiana, to compete in the American Advertising Federation (AAF) District 6 contest on Friday, April 13. The team, including 22 students, placed third in the largest AAF district contest, which is known as a mega-district. This year, the client was Ocean Spray Cranberries.
Nearly 150 university teams across the US compete in the NSAC. University teams are tasked with creating a comprehensive advertising/integrated marketing plan for a national client. The recommendations are documented in a 20-page plans book and delivered to industry judges in a 20-minute oral presentation. District competitions take place in 15 AAF districts across the nation, including a virtual competition.
AAF’s District 6 (D6) has the highest concentration of Advertising/Public Relations academic programs located in Michigan, Illinois and Indiana. Twenty universities competed in the AAF D6 NSAC contest this year, including Michigan State, Purdue, Columbia, Ball State, University of Illinois, Indiana University and others. Two teams from D6 will move on to the semi-finals in this three-tier competition. Of the 18 teams that compete in the semi-final round, eight teams will move on to the national competition in conjunction with the AAF ADmerica national conference, this year, held in Chicago.
Grand Valley has been competing in the NSAC contest since 2008 and has placed every consecutive year since 2009; three of those were first place.
This year, GVSU’s NSAC tagline line for Ocean Spray was #EmbraceTheBitterSweet. The GVSU team recommended an array of interactive and experiential tactics designed to resonate with younger target market and inspire them to engage with Ocean Spray, a brand that has a largely older consumer base.
