Working (it) Out Ep 7 Roya Akbari: Destiny's Child
from Working (it) Out Hosted by Artslant
Working (it) Out Ep 7 Roya Akbari: Destiny’s Child Roya Akbari is an experimental filmmaker and visual artist. When we met to discuss her work, she brought up important issues around censorship and the politics of what is allowed to be shown where. For Akbari, discourse isn’t a precursor to categorizing a culture product as art. Akbari’s experimental films and installations feel intimate and personal, but withdraw just enough from the edge of explicit to allow space for audience to enter the work. Akbari doesn’t consider audience during process, but rather addresses an aspect of herself, or in the case of Only Image Remains, audience is addressed through a love letter to Iranian Cinema.
