Together as part of the international documentary screening network Cinema Politica, Gallery 1C03 and The University of Winnipeg Students’ Association (UWSA) are pleased to present the film Art and Apathy at Eckhardt-Gramatté Hall on Tuesday, January 25 at 7 p.m.
Art and Apathy directed by independent film maker Jessica Habie documents the relationship between art and social change in Israel and Palestine. Despite the way mainstream media portrays the conflict in the Middle East, the artists in this film produce work that provokes dialogue. Through their art, the film examines political and social elements in the Middle East that are often oversimplified by media. As a result, political ideologies and historical structures become clearer. The artist’s works inspire alternative perspectives transcending political rhetoric.
Art and Apathy was selected for screening by the Hillel Students Association. A discussion will follow the film facilitated by Dr. Angela Failler of the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at The University of Winnipeg.
