Ethnokino presents: Bodies in Alliance


Ethnokino presents: Bodies in Alliance

“No one body establishes the space of appearance, but this action, this performative exercise happens only “between” bodies. [...] In this way, my body does not act alone, when it acts politically."

- Judith Butler


Butler emphasises that political claims are made by bodies as they appear and act, as they refuse and as they persist - including therefore people without access to a political space, living in precarity. According to her, any allied bodies can bring about their own space of appearance.

In this season we will explore the social and political dimensions bodies hold. Therefore we will show and discuss documentaries which portray or collaborate with people and groups that are claiming or creating access to political spaces: We see bodies moving and performing, bodies coming together, pushing boundaries, transforming and striving for change.
