“The Stories We Tell” : South Asian & Arab Experimental Videos
Free! RSVP to curatorial@artingeneral.org
Curated by Swati Khurana, media artists, board member of the South Asian Women's Creative Collective.
This video program will feature short, experimental works by South Asian and Arab artists whose work reveals the tenuous nature of story-telling. The videos will be a combination of home movies as necessary fictions, excavations of propaganda and other effective formats of lie-spreading, documentary efforts at revealing the 'real', the stories that performances and performativity can tell, and narrative films where the act of telling the story becomes the narrative.
