The exhibition at Casa Cavazzini presents five films and videos by Invernomuto (Italy), Gelare Khoshgozaran (Iran), Little Warsaw (Hungary), Stefan Kruse (Denmark) and Eleonora Roaro (Italy), together with a film screening by Caterina Erica Shanta (Italy) at Cinema Visionario. They all highlight modalities by which Western culture has built, across recent History as well as less recent, the image of alterity with the aim of legitimizing colonial power and dominion through art history, mental health, technological progress, cinema, and new media.
The exhibition project is further enriched by an interdisciplinary program of showings and conferences. The aim is to raise questions about the ways in which we build the images we use to overwrite desires, needs, cultures and bodies, by widening the scope of the suggestions here addressed through a series of artworks characterized by scientific, historical, philosophical and sociological approaches.
