Cinevolution and VIVO Screening
Ex.Situ/In.Situ
·
Co-presented by Cinevolution Media Arts Society and VIVO Media Arts Centre, Ex.Situ/In.Situ explores themes of permeability, temporality, fragmentation and re/turn through the intimate topography of our material and narrative entanglements. The program features a selection of works from the Video Out Collection by Gabi Dao, Emma Joye Frank, Melissa General, Daniel Negatu, Naween Noppakun, Sara Wylie & Hannah Tollefson, and Yuan Zheng. In this protracted moment of heightened social isolation and anxiety, we hope this collection of works can offer a way out of our own heads and towards a re/turn to hope.
