#SlutWalkNYC

USA, 2013, Blu-Ray, Color, 5’, English
Director: Therese Shechter

“Women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized.” This quote by a Toronto police officer galvanized feminist women to create the first SlutWalk in 2011, unleashing a global political movement.

Objects also bear the memory of the geography to which they relate. Ceramics, with soil as their primary material, are directly linked to the land where they are produced: forging a direct relationship with earth, ceramics bear the memory of the soil where they come from.

“A nameless Egyptian fresco, an African idol or a vase from Crete: we should behold Pirosmani’s art among them. Only this way it is possible to conceive it genuinely … …You see Pirosmani – you believe in Georgia”.
