Art Matters / Moving Images: A Cage Named Garden

Join Filipa Ramos, co-curator of this year’s Counter Encounters film series with the Tate time-based media team, for a special screening of Brazilian artist Ana Vaz’s film It Is Night in America.

In this film, “A young anteater found dead by the side of a road, a boa constrictor wanders in the suburbs of Taguatinga, a maned wolf is found in a farm in Sobradinho II, a small owl is rescued in the Radio Center district, a capybara swims in the water mirror of the Itamaraty Palace. The question is: are animals invading our cities, or rather are we occupying their habitat?”  (Headline of Correio Braziliense). 

Considering the crossover of a field within social science and cinema, the screening and discussion with Filipa Ramos afterwards will look at how animals and artists collaborate with one another. 

Bookings will open soon.
