Begun during my adventures overseas, the Female Expat Project began as a collection of artworks about female expatriates and their original ideas about place. On the flip side of expatriates' nomadic lifestyles are contemporary nesting instincts—also explored in this blog. Really it's a publicly available sketchbook in the cloud supporting my artwork. http://joelledietrick.com

Empire
Empire: Excerpt from the 2-channel installation "Empire: 7 Degrees N 81 Degrees E" by Eline Jongsma & Kel O'Neill. Made as part of the project "Empire: Legacy of the World's First Corporation."
This excerpt tells the story of Herman Steur, a man whose charitable instincts led him to build a Dutch village in the middle of the Sri Lankan jungle.
Made as part of the project "Empire: Legacy of the World's First Corporation." Shot and exhibited in collaboration with Theertha International Artists' Collective, Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Containers, Seaports, Sekula
Allan Sekula and Noël Burch, still from The Forgotten Space (2010). |
After spending a summer writing about seaports and shipping containers, I'm bookmarking this article on Rhizome. http://rhizome.org/editorial/2014/aug/14/containers/
Interested to find out more...expat ladies, email me at jdietrick@gmail if you have any stories about ports, shipments, or your employers—anything that relates to global trade. It's for a 2015 summer project at MoCA Jacksonville's Project Atrium and a larger series. Past project documented by the extraordinary Sarah Emerson here: https://vimeo.com/71907184
