Curatore: Zoe Whitley<\/em><\/p>\n

L’artista e filmmaker Zina Saro-Wiwa<\/strong> ci offre una selezione di proiezioni e interviste che raccontino i suoi ultimi cinque anni di attivit\u00e0, in collaborazione con la curatrice della Tate<\/a> Zoe Whitley<\/strong>. I film dell’artista erano inzialmente esperimenti recitativi e di story-telling<\/em> ispirati all’estetica e alla narrativa fortemente drammatica dei film di Nollywood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dai primi lavori in questo stile, girati perlopi\u00f9 a Lagos, si passa ai lavori pi\u00f9 recenti, ambientati ancora una volta in Nigeria ma nella sua regione natale, il delta del Niger, terra del petrolio e dell’inquinamento.<\/p>\n

La presentazione ha inizio con i primi lavori della Saro-Wiwa, i suoi Nollywoodiani Phyllis<\/em><\/strong>(2010) e The Deliverance of Comfort<\/em><\/strong>(2010), seguiti da estratti toccanti da Mourning Class: Nollywood<\/em><\/strong>(2010) e Sarogua Mourning<\/em><\/strong>(2011). Nei primi due cortometraggi l’artista si serve della struttura tragica per evidenziare la cruda vulnerabilit\u00e0 del dimostrare affetto, atti di fede ed espressioni di dolore.<\/p>\n

\"Zina<\/a> \"ZinaSaroWiwa2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Negli ultimi due viene invece esplorato lo spazio fra il documentario e la performance, rivelando come l’espressione delle emozioni possa portare a una vera e propria catarsi. In quanto creatrice di video arte, Saro-Wiwa si serve della performance per esplorare tanto l’interiore, quanto l’esteriore.<\/p>\n

Due delle sue opere pi\u00f9 recenti, Table Manners<\/em><\/strong>(2014-2015) e Prayer Warriors<\/em><\/strong> (2015), rievocano magnifiche e coinvolgenti storie di sostentamento e sopravvivenza, sia fisici che spirituali. Il pubblico \u00e8 invitato a prendere parte al dibattito sulla performance; il melodramma sullo schermo e in galleria e il rapporto fra ambientalismo e arte contemporanea.<\/p>\n
