Between the Body, Memory, Screen and Culture
In memory of Grace Quintanilla (MX) 1968 to 2019
                         Barbara Hammer (US) 1939 to 2019
                         Carolee Schneemann (US) 1930 to 2019
                         Agnes Varda (FR) 1928 to 2019

We pay homage to video and performance artists Grace Quintanilla (Mexico), Barbara Hammer (US), Carolee Schneemann (US), and Agnes Varda (FR).  These artists and many with them have located their discourse within feminist presence, persistence, struggle and cultural resonance.
Additionally. we invite our subscribers, artists, writers, art historians and others, whose own work broadly resonates with the themes these women dedicated their lives to.  We celebrate issues revolving around the body, memory, and culture through screen, moving image, virtual reality and more.
Hope our subscribers will post freely. 
Best, Renate
