Moments in Pickwick: Opening a window into women’s lived experiences of transitional housing through participatory filmmaking

Abstract

This film utilises participatory filmmaking to explore transitional housing in Pickwick, Cape Town. As we join five women inhabiting the space, we gain insights into their lived experience of the environment. The aim of the resulting film is to reveal insider narratives in contrast with top-down imaginations of inhabitation.
