Monday, March 13th – Thursday, March 16th, 2006 12 – 2pm
On the Image Bar, CCIT ground floor, UTM
Natalie of Wood
Director: Shawn Chappelle (Canada, 2001, 2 min, video)
A remix of old Hollywood images comments on the film industry's notorious and persistent appetite to stereotype Indian people. Who is speaking for whom in this short work, and what is being said? Are the old images just re-presented or is the artist critically looking at self in the context of whiteness and the subjugation of Indian people?
The Image Bar is conceived of as an audio-visual venue to raise critical contemporary cultural issues concerning mass media, cultural identity, current affairs, and matters of heart and mind in the context of university life.
