Film screening, workshop
Curated by Myriam Gras, with Julia Fidder and Xenia Tsompanidou, as part of Text my Sister
From poetic narratives of the rhythms of manual labour to a speculative vision of future society, these films confront the beauty, complexity, and absurd contradictions of human endeavor. How is technology redefining the role of labour in our lives? Who benefits and who is left behind in the relentless drive for progress?
Text my Sister engages with audiences to reflect on the intimate and global stakes of labor in our collective past, present, and future.
