Like the exhibition at the Grey, this film series celebrates the transformative impact women artists have made on contemporary art and film since the award’s founding in 1996.
Lynn Hershman Leeson: TANIA LIBRE, 2017
How does incarceration affect an artist’s psyche? In a fascinating and novel approach, Lynn Hershman Leeson (AWAW 2014) allows us to eavesdrop on a session between Tania Bruguera – one of the world’s most celebrated and daring Cuban artists (and herself the recipient of an AWAW award in 2016) – and Dr. Frank Ochberg, a New York-based psychiatrist and pioneer in post-traumatic stress disorder and the Stockholm syndrome. Bruguera visited Dr. Ochberg after spending eight months in prison, accused of treason after announcing her intention to provide an uncensored platform for citizens in Havana to freely express their views in public for one minute.
