Art curator & researcher

In a very brief history of video art, we can witness the power of a new form of expression in social and human movements. It was an essential tool in the second wave of feminism in France; the most potent weapon in the liberation movements of Algeria; the embodiment of strength in the anti-racist movements in the United States; it empowered (and rescued) countless stories of women and dissident bodies around the globe. Now, more than ever, it is a tool for creating dreams, parallel realities, and other existences.

In the opening text, from the exhibition’s curators, the case at hand is very well explained: interest in portable film devices came from the possibilities of exploration of “women’s experiences and struggles, as well as the material conditions of their lives”.
