Short-film programme curated by artist Ángela Bonadies

Following the co-invitation of Salzburger Kunstverein and Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts, Venezuelan artist Ángela Bonadies curates a film programme for one of Sunset Kino’s nights, followed by Q & A with Marina Fokidis. The programme includes film-makers Ana Alenso, Valentina Alvarado, Carlos Castillo, Ciudad Artavazd Peleshian, Andrés Duque and Margret Tait, who respond to the notion of displacement either by living in exile, or through the loss of the motherland due to autocracy, militarism, exploitation and corruption. Their short films share similar poetics that move between humour, nostalgia, resistance to blind anthropocentrism, and ecology. Art practice is approached in this ensemble as a mother tongue: the house from which power and progress are questioned and where destinies intersect.

Ángela Bonadies is a Venezuelan artist whose work interrogates duration and memory: what endures, what resists, what remains, what vanishes, what is "out of place”. Her practice starts with photography and expands to other media, such as writing and drawing, and is nourished by collaboration with other artists. She has exhibited in venues including La Virreina Centre de la Image, Barcelona, 2022; BienalSur, Cúcuta, 2021; Bienal de Cuenca 2020; Cinemateca Distrital de Bogotá, 2020; Santa Fe SITELines Biennial: New Perspectives on Art of the Americas, 2018; Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University, 2018; Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), 2017; 18th Street Arts Center, Santa Monica, 2017; Galería Abra Caracas, 2016; Momenta Art, Brooklyn, 2016; Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart (WKV), Stuttgart, 2015; MACBA, Barcelona, 2015; ZKM, Karlsruhe, 2013; Havana Biennial, 2006.
