Identity and Politics 2
Vassiliki Tzanakou for ARTinTRA
Ass. Curator: Marta Cacciavillani
Running time: 30’
Identities are not pre-existent nor constitute natural conditions in themselves. They are constructed through human (inter)action which takes place in specific cultural and socio-economical environments and, therefore, are in constant redefinition. Materialism, consumerism, racism, imperialism and individualisation have been leading to the multiplication of fears, social exclusion, isolation, depression and violence. This curated series of immersive short films explores through animation, fiction and abstraction the interactions and impacts that contemporary societies have on one's identity.
