Community Video

Community Video, as a gender counter map, tried to change the visual landscapes on climate change. Six months of training was given to women collectives of Kudumbashree, equipping them to make 2- 3 minute long videos, reflecting their day-to-day lives in the context of climate change and tidal flooding, and to focus on similar issues and collateral damages in their neighbourhood. Besides, being an effective process to subvert the hegemony of mainstream visual politics and popular visual narratives, it helped to develop a group of informed and technically sound grassroots women leaders in climate change at the neighbourhood and local governance levels. These videos can become the new data set at the micro level for planning the adaptation interventions for climate change disasters.
