DISSIDENCES
An evening with Raisa Maudit
NL Een avond met films van Spaanse visuele
kunstenaar Raisa Maudit. Haar werk gaat over de representatie van lust,
constructies, tegenstellingen en verwachtingen. Vaak in de vorm van een
vraag, een wijzende vinger of een klein opstandje. Raisa’s video’s zijn
daden van omverwerping en non-acceptatie. Postanarchisme,
transfeminisme, populaire cultuur, identiteit, het lichaam als een
gereedschap en het occulte zijn sommige van haar terugkerende thema’s.
De kunstenaar is bij de vertoning aanwezig voor een Q&A na afloop.
constructions, contradictions and expectations. Often in the form of a question, a pointing finger or a small rebellion, Raisa's videos are acts of subversion and dissent. Postanarchism, transfeminism, popular culture, identity, the body as a tool and the occult are some of her recurring themes. The artist will be present for a Q&A after the screening.
