This event includes the screening of seven moving image works by artists engaging with the social, aesthetic, and political histories of Eurasia. Since the eighteenth century, imperialism has attempted to shape the western gaze onto territories that comprise present day Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and autonomous Russian territories such as Buryatia. Looted objects entered museum collections while overwhelmingly ethnographic images visualized Eurasian communities in imperial metropoles. This collection of works examines how contemporary strategies for the moving images can digest or metabolize state instrumentalization of emergent image-making technologies including photography, film, data visualization, and so on. This event is part of the Cleveland Humanities Festival: Appetite.
