HOORAY | she bloody did it - Nnena Kalu won the 2025 Turner Prize!! After much sobbing on my part I re-watched Charlotte Hollinshead’s brilliant speech again, such important words spoken including - “this award smashes the prejudice away. Nnena Kalu you’ve made history.” For someone who works in disability art, this is quite a moment for us all - allies, advocates and artists, and what a perfect role model. Having known and worked with Nnena for years, I couldn’t be happier for Nnena, ActionSpace and for what this hopefully means moving forwards in this country for work made by disabled, learning disabled, deaf, neurodivergent artists, and so on. ‘idol, legend, winner, whatever’!!! This is what her rosette on the evening said and what a young learning disabled artist recently said to her! In 2022 I received funding to create artist portrait films - to document the artist and their art practice of eight UK based learning disabled and neurodivergent artists, Nnena being one. These were then shown in a 2024 exhibition I co-curated at Nottingham Castle & Art Gallery alongside artworks by each featured artist, titled ‘Kaleidoscopic Realms’. It feels important to re-share this film now, to highlight Nnena to those who know less, but it also has BSL (British Sign Language) and captions embedded for those who need to access it on their own terms, and in their own language. Enjoy, and once again big congrats to Nnena, and I can't wait to celebrate with you!! Directed filmed and edited by Bronwen Parker Rhodes, assisted by Louisa Rechenbach, and music by Jenna Whelan at Pyramids. BSL by Chisato Minamimura filmed by red weather productions. Thanks to Necessity for funding these beautiful artist portrait films. This film is 6 minutes long.

COME (2025) is a hybrid live action and animated documentary, in which fluid handcrafted animation is used to visualize personal and sensitive accounts of female orgasm. The film was made by the powerful daughter-and-mother team of director Bronwen Parker-Rhodes and animator Erica Russell. We asked Bronwen and Erica some questions about their process of making the film. Find the article on animateddocs.com (link in biog)

"I wanted the sole focus of the film to be the orgasm, and I felt that any cutaways or overly stylised shots would distract from what the women were sharing." @bronfilms speaks to DN about her very intentional framing of the women interviewed for her evocatively animated documentary short 'COME', where the central exploration and evocation always take precedence. Watch it now & read our interview with Bronwen over on DN ⏯️ // Credits // Animation: Erica Russell Cinematographer: Ailsa Aikoa Editor: Bronwen Parker-Rhodes Composer: Auf Togo Sound Recording: Bronwen Parker-Rhodes Sound Mix: Jenna Whelan Colour: Amélie Ravalec Supported by The New York Times Op-Docs Senior Commissioning Producer: Christine Ketcher Supervising Producer: Alexandra Garcia Series Producer: Yvonne Ashley Kouadjo Executive Producer: Adam Ellick

KALEIDOSCOPIC REALMS | THE FILMS | We felt it was a good time to revisit where this whole thing began… the incredible films that were created with the help of @bronfilms and funding from Necessity. This exhibition is born of out Jennifer’s project @shift_voices, which exists to give recognition to and to amplify the voices of neurodivergent and learning disabled artists. She got some funding in lockdown to produce a series of eight films, and the eight artists in the exhibition were the eight artists from the films. Paired with Bron alongside her assistant Louisa Rechenbach and with music from Jenna Whelan at Pyramids, the films came to life after we travelled together around the UK shooting footage, asking questions and collecting audio. Bron carefully listened to the sensitivity and respect needed for these artists. The resulting films are each around five minutes long, with captions and BSL (British Sign Language) embedded into them. You hear from the artists (where possible), facilitators from studios they attend, and family members as well. With this exhibition, the films always needed to be centre stage next to the artwork, so audiences could learn more about the artist and their communication tools, alongside seeing a body of their work. We could not be more proud of how the films turned out and how it all works together so beautifully at Nottingham Castle. If you cannot get to the exhibition, all the films exist on Jennifer and the SHIFT project website. A note on access - you may have noticed each of the commissioned benches are angled to one side of the screens, and there is an important reason for this. Being a wheelchair user, Christopher spoke of the annoyance of other galleries placing benches directly in front of screens, therefore not allowing wheelchair users or those with mobility equipment to have the same view as everyone else. By angling the benches, it means they can place themselves in front of the screens, so equity is reached. #ArtistFilms #KaleidoscopicRealms #SHIFTVoices #Access
