Ghost Dance

Emilia Izquierdo

ENGLAND

2019

Installation

Short Film

Using Thomas Edison's 1894 filming of the 'Ghost Dance' as a basis, the piece explores dance as protest, dance as a form of resistance against injustice and the imposition of foreign powers, such as dance used as resistance against white settlers in North America, and dances in Gaza, South Africa, Peru, Jerusalem, Armenia, among others. The work explores power, resistance and the clash of cultures using hand-drawn animation and archival footage, combining tactile and digital touch to explore the cosmic, the magical, technology and politics.
