A video work exploring the juxtapositions between physical limitations and freedom in political and corporal contexts. Here, porn is thought of as a genre which can be empowering or degrading in its engagement with women and their bodies and which shows varying power constructions.

Amber Bemak

In her performances and video works, film-maker, artist, and educator Amber Bemak uses the body as a sight for socio-political inquiry, engages with text, language, and translation to open up discourse around deeply embedded colonial narratives, and commits to linking the intimate and personal with larger institutional structures.

Nadia Granados

Using her body in combination with multi-media technologies, Nadia Granados’ artistic practice illuminates the relationships between the representation of state violence in mainstream media, institutionalised machismo, heterosexual pornography, and violence against women. Her work is both performative and technological, both art and activism, and a mix of cabaret, public intervention, and video transmission.
