Please join us for our second screening....

Feminist Recycling Group presents….
This is the Feminist Archive: Canadian Film & Video 1970s-1990s
The four events in the series, screenings accompanied by conversations with the artists, recontextualize feminist film and video work as constitutive of archival futures; a future imperfect: what will be seen to have been. Too often, feminism is narrated and historicized as wholly outdated/transphobic/racist, invisibilizing BIPOC feminists who were leaders in the Canadian feminist movement and its art practice. Feminists themselves may attempt to disavow previous iterations of the movement. And yet, many examples of early feminist video engage, or invent avant-garde strategies, while also engaging in intersectional interrogations. The delimiting of the history of feminisms implicitly excludes much of the intersectional cultural work that was central to feminist projects. This is especially pertinent as American hegemony – the undoing of abortion rights, the war on trans bodies – continues to inform local and national contexts in Canada. The films and videos in the programs come from the last three decades of the 20th century when feminist political organizing was inextricable with women’s cultural production.

"Fantasy/Memory/Media" will be October 24, 7-9PM, at Vtape (401 Richmond Street West, Suite 452). This program features film and video that take media and memory as their subject. It focuses particularly on non-narrative experimental art works that explore how feminism is broken down and reworked relative to photography and the cinematic image. The program will be followed by a conversation between curator, Lexie Corbett, and artist, Elizabeth Chitty.
