No Master Territories

HOVEDBILDE Han Ok hee Untitled 77 A still 1977 Courtesy of Asia Culture Center ACC

Bridging the fields of documentary and experimental film and video, No Master Territories offers an expansive, intersectional account of underappreciated encounters between feminism and the moving image. Across a polycentric, global geography, it maps how artists and filmmakers have explored the nexus of gender and power and charts sites at which feminism connects to other struggles for justice. By revisiting the period of the 1970s to 1990s, it aims both to pay homage to the important work that has come before and to respond to the urgencies of the present.
