EWVA: European women's video art. [Film screening]

Abstract

This was an installed screening programme displayed at the 2016 BNL Media Art Festival. The video compilation included artworks by some of the most influential European women artists who were video pioneers in the 1970s and 1980s. A broad range of topics and approaches to video were shown. These include experimentation exploring the possibilities of the medium, video installation, multi-media and performance. The selected themes addressed: criticism of broadcast television; identity; the relationship between the artist and their body; ephemerality of life; perception; pregnancy and maternity; the opposition between nature and civilisation; representations of women by the media; and the role of women in society. The screening was curated by Laura Leuzzi with technical support from Adam Lockhart. EWVA is a project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) at the University of Dundee.
