Michelle Dizon In Person

Experimental video artist Michelle Dizon joins us from Los Angeles =

for her first solo screening. Working with home movies shot in =

California and the Philippines, low-end video, numerous found images =

from the web and other films, and carefully culled and original =

texts, Dizon articulates a compelling political and aesthetic vision =

that constantly questions the status quo of language, images, and the =

power embedded in them. In our current context of globalization and =

war, pieces such as Calibrate; D=E9partement des Arts de l'Islam; We, =

the Undersigned, Girls of Hiroshima; and her newest piece, The Great =

Wall compel us to re-think representational and political practices. =

We will also screen earlier, more intimate, works including My Child, =

Anak and A Family Sick.

This Program is Presented in Association with the Center for Asian =

American Media and Artists' Television Access
