For this project, conceived as a hybrid format between an exhibition and a workshop, the curator Clara López Menéndez, invited by the Casa do Povo with the support of AC/E, gives a course on how militants and activists use cinema and experimental video, especially since the 60s, to put social themes in dialogue with current art practices and how they transform it with new technologies.
Clara López Menéndez is an art worker practicing in the fields of curating, pedagogy, art criticism and performance. Among her recent projects are AK Burns's solo exhibition "A Smeary Spot" at Human Resources LA and the critical evening series It was quite a fiction, organized with Suzy Halajian. She is currently working with collaborator Andrew Kachel on the third chapter of the ongoing project "A New Job to Unwork At", to be presented at Participant Inc. in NYC in August 2018. Her writing has appeared in Mousse, Art News, Bomb, Little Joe, and she has worked with Redcat, Participant Inc., Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions and die neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst among others.
