BRIMSTONE

Posted on 2017-09-25

A triumphant tale of powerful womanhood and resistance against a violent past that refuses to fade.

Liz (Dakota Fanning) is a mute young woman who lives together with her husband and two children. She is a midwife and communicates through sign language, sometimes assisted by her daughter. Her relationship with her 14 year old son could be better, but otherwise Liz’s life seems pretty good.

When the new reverend (Guy Pearce) climbs the pulpit in church, Liz freezes. She immediately knows she and her family are in danger.

In four chapters we see not only how the reverend tries to take everything Liz loves away from her, but also how her life has unfolded in the past.

LUNGISWA GQUNTA – POOLSIDE CONVERSATIONS

Posted on 2017-09-25

In Poolside Conversations Gqunta invites us to reconsider the suburban garden as a space reserved for leisure activities as experienced by the privileged – a private space reserved for the landowner. Through her practice she seeks to disturb these spaces of privilege and highlight the structures of colonialism that are still in place today.

Central to the installation is the notion of the swimming pool – a common design element found in the suburban gardens of South Africa and a visceral symbol of privilege. In a country where basic resources such as water are increasingly rare it
epitomises the luxuries afforded to the few and in effect becomes a racialized signifier of wealth.

Collectively the works in the installation narrates a resistance against the structures of colonialism that remain in place today and the inequality that surrounds us. These privileges are directly linked to issues of racial segregation and other long term effects of colonialism that continue to subtly spread and imprison a large number of South Africans whether its physically or psychologically.

ECHO PARK – This September and October, the body and all of its beautiful imperfections will be on display as the #girlgaze: UNCENSORED exhibit debuts at Subliminal Projects. Curated by media entrepreneur Amanda de Cadenet, the exhibition is a collaboration between Girlgaze, de Cadenet’s social media movement-turned-digital media company, and Subliminal Projects in an effort to proactively increase visibility and opportunities for young female-identifying artists, challenging the creative industry’s gender bias by showcasing their extraordinary talent.

The exhibition, open September 29, 2017 – October 28, 2017, will feature selected artwork by over 50 photographers from the worldwide #girlgaze community, celebrating the human body – all different shapes, sizes, and stages – including parts that are generally kept hidden from the public eye. This uncensored experience will advance conversation around the beauty of imperfection while also showcasing the universality of the female-identifying experience, addressing historically taboo subjects including scars, rolls, body hair, transitioning, and internal struggles such as anxiety and depression.
