Analogue Revolution: How Feminist Media Changed the World

Co-presented by Art Gallery of Guelph 

Venue: Art Gallery of Guelph
Tickets: $15/PWYW

When Zainub Verjee, a Vancouver-based film programmer started the InVisible Colours women of colour film festival in 1988, she fully expected it to continue for years. So did Linda Abrahams (Matriart Journal) and Zanana Akande (Tiger Lily Women of Colour Magazine). Cutbacks, racism, and technological change decimated a sophisticated, world-changing feminist media movement. Long before the #MeToo era, feminist storytellers of the 1970s to 90s, from Halifax to Vancouver, took hold of cutting-edge analogue technology to document everything from violence towards women, to how to insert a diaphragm, amplifying many voices that had been missing.
