Video recordings of the lectures are available on the Modern’s YouTube channel October 1, 7 pm Amber Bemak and Nadia Granados open this season’s Tuesday Evenings at the Modern by sharing film and performance work that fights and transforms the stale, old, and persistent representation of women in media. For this special presentation, “Bursting Screens: Strategies of Self-representation from the Bodies of Women,” Bemak and Granados assert that the audiovisual proposals selected here arise from women’s self-representation as a series of disobedient responses, using the camera to show a sexuality that transgresses what is expected of them from the perspective of the heterosexual male gaze and consumer society. Amber Bemak is a filmmaker, artist, and educator whose work is based in experimental and documentary film, performance art, and curatorial practice. Nadia Granados, an artist whose work is performative and technological, combines art and activism, and is a mix of cabaret, intervention, and streaming video, explores the relationships between traditional pornography and violence. October 2, 7 pm Amber Bemak and Nadia Granados, filmmakers and performance artists who have collaborated since 2014, follow their Tuesday Evenings at the Modern presentation “Bursting Screens: Strategies of Self-representation from the Bodies of Women” with a screening of their award-winning film trilogy Tell Me When You Die for this special Wednesday evening presentation on October 2.
