The evening emerges from Rinland’s ongoing work on a book centered on Hirsch’s graffiti made during Argentina’s 1976–83 military dictatorship.  The project considers graffiti as a political and artistic gesture, and as one part of Hirsch’s expansive practice across film, performance, photography, and public intervention.

For this program, Rinland will present a performance and reading from her developing research alongside a selection of Hirsch’s films, opening up connections between her moving-image work and the gestures, inscriptions, and interventions she made beyond the screen. Together, the works offer a way into Hirsch’s singular practice while tracing a broader history of political graffiti and the possibilities of making images and marks under conditions of repression.

Join us for an evening moving across cinema, performance, writing, and the street, and for a close encounter with an extraordinary body of work through Rinland’s ongoing research. Come through![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text]

She is a recipient of numerous prizes including Special Mention at Locarno and San Sebastian Film Festival, Best Film at DocumentaMadrid, Primer Premio at Bienale de Imagen en Movimiento Buenos Aires, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Schnitzer prize for excellence in the arts.
