Ketchup Sessions: Ana Vaz & Beatriz Santiago Muñoz
Based in Paris and San Francisco, Kadist is an interdisciplinary organization with an international collection of contemporary art. In addition to collecting works, the institution also hosts artist residencies and produces exhibitions, publications, and public events.
To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Kadist is hosting a monthly series of ‘catch-up’ sessions, with short saucy presentations by 20 artists around the world. Each session is hosted by a different international curator, served up via Zoom, and streamed via YouTube.
The next Ketchup Session will be held on Thursday, October 28, 11 am PDT | 3 pm BSTwith artists Ana Vaz & Beatriz Santiago Muñoz, hosted by Fernanda Brenner and in partnership with Pivô.
Experimental and ethnographic film have long been considered two different disciplines on the margins of mainstream cinema. Ana Vaz and Beatriz Santiago Muñoz deliberately dissolve this division to explore the interplay between written language, performance, and moving images. The artists will discuss their particular approach to filmmaking as a self-implicating and speculative tool to rework cultural histories and sociopolitical frameworks of specific contexts and to bridge different people, landscapes, and forms of knowledge.
