Mexico City time: March 7th 11.30am to 1pm
In a collaborative film screening and discussion event between disabled women from Scotland and Mexico, artists Emily Beaney and Ana García Jácome draw upon archives in Mexico and the UK to explore how audio-visual practices can interrogate issues of representation across international contexts. The artists will talk about their collaboration, including where they worked with disabled artists in their communities, and how the process of radically reworking archive footage became a way to position disabled women as active agents for change.
This will be a relaxed event with BSL interpretation. The film will have captions, audio description and sensory synopsis.
