On the occasion of its 40th anniversary, Groupe Intervention Vidéo (GIV), Montréal, invites the public into its collection to explore the documentary, artistic and animated perspectives of its female-identified directors. This program reflects the changes of the past four decades in terms of broad social, technological and artistic transformations and the redefinition of our identities. Details TBA!
Groupe Intervention Vidéo (GIV) was founded in Montréal in 1975 within a context of social and cultural effervescence in Québec by a group of women and men who were independent producer-directors. In the 1980s, driven by feminism, GIV focused on the distribution of videos made by women. This mandate has remained current, and supports the practice of media arts in its various forms and expressions, both artistic and activist. The collection, currently composed of 1,300 titles in French, English, and several other languages, represents the work of 335 artists. GIV is one of a handful of centers worldwide that focuses on works created by women artists.
Free! Everyone welcome.
