Hines, C. L. (2022, May 4). Another Europe [Conference Presentation]. Another Europe, Austrian Cultural Forum New York, United States of America (the).
The evening program “Another Europe” is highlighting two discursive artist positions from Austria, with a double film screening consisting of “Another Europe” by Sangam Sharma, and “Carbon and Captivity” by Oliver Ressler.
In “Another Europe” female narrator (fellow artist Kathi Hofer) gives voice to this film, making it a reflection on the filmmaker’s life and journey through Europe (which began in the summer of 2019, before COVID-19). Spaces of association unfold, a train of thoughts. The boundaries between factual and memory blur. How much of personal history can be read more globally?
In the second film of the evening “Carbon and Captivity” Oliver Ressler addresses the environmental crisis, and its impact on community life, allowing us to closely connect the thematics of identity politics, environmental destruction and the current moment of crisis. The piece was completed last year, at the height of the health crisis and has therefore not been exhibited extensively. The evening is organized by Ameli M. Klein who will introduce the video works, and lead an open discussion after the screenings with Carmen Lael Hines and Marco Baravalle to address questions concerning national identity, our sense of community and belonging, the intersection of environmental and social crisis, and the planetary shift towards a nomadic sense of community and belonging. How has the current crisis shifted our perspective?
