On the occasion of the ongoing What if Women Ruled the World exhibition cycle, ΕΜΣΤ is pleased to present a screening of seminal and early feminist video works from the 1970s to the 1990s (from its collection) which have had a significant impact on how we understand gender, representation and the body. The availability of affordable and portable video equipment towards the end of the 1960s marked the birth of video art and numerous female artists adopted the medium and participated in its development. Video had a sweeping impact on the introduction of the moving image into the artworld, opening up a new universe of experimentation. In these early films we can see how the image could now be shaped, manipulated and erased; how painting and film merge, and how complex compositions of images and sounds were created for the first time. Both a medium of creation and protest, video became a key element in the development of feminist art in the 1970s, making the female body and identity a place for visual and political exploration. The program presents some of the most iconic and influential early feminist artists who made a historical contribution in this direction, both from Greece as well as further afield.
