Pilot Study #14 These Keywords







This text by Black Feminist writer and researcher Lola Olufemi is one of the pilot studies of Re-Imagine Europe: New Perspectives for Action. It emerges from the Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts (BEK) symposium The Only Lasting Truth is Change: Voice, Seed, Brutality (21–23 November 2025, Bergen), and reflects the collaborative project Gneiss by Touki and Rehana Zaman. Developed as part of an ongoing film project commissioned by BEK, the work brings together sound, moving image, and discussion in response to the question: What is change?

Produced within the framework of Re-Imagine Europe: New Perspectives for Action, Lola’s text situates this collaborative work within a broader effort to explore how artistic practices can respond to ecological, social, and political challenges. Moving between documentation and poetic inquiry, it traces how transformation is lived and negotiated through dialogue, solidarity, and collective making.

Everything Worthwhile is Done with Other People:
Amal Khalaf and Rehana Zaman in conversation
Other Cinemas, 2020







Everything Worthwhile is Done with Other People is an in-conversation event with Amal Khalaf and Rehana Zaman. The event takes its cue from a quote by organiser and prison abolitionist Mariame Kaba, in an interview of the same name in Adi Magazine. This interview will sit alongside the conversation as Amal and Rehana discuss their three-year collaboration with a group of Black and POC women affected by the criminal justice system and their attempts to collectively produce a film that speaks to this process. Reflections, methods and dreams, filtered from their individual and shared work will be offered through the discussion.
