What happens behind closed doors—figurative, fictional, imaginary, or real. So many private gestures transform into meaningful movements. This video series plays with intimacy by reclaiming words and body, habits and the everyday. Domestic spaces become performative, go beyond their own limitations.
The screening will be followed by a performance by Les666 and Matt Miwa.
Video program:
The Key of F. | Andrea Cooper
The Key of F. is a video performance of the artist speaking/performing sexually aggressive texts that were sent to Cooper from random men on Tinder.

I had to trust my fall is a video/performance/drawing about self-trust, letting go and the subversion of success.

It’s pink and nice but not really! | Taylor Yocom
It’s pink and nice but not really! uses a hyper-feminine visual language to create quiet moments of frustration in response to harassment and the expectation of female niceness.
