With insightful essays and interviews, this volume examines how
artists have experimented with the medium of video across different
regions of Latin America since the 1960s. The emergence of video
art in Latin America is marked by multiple points of development,
across more than a dozen artistic centers, over a period of more
than twenty-five years. When it was first introduced during the
1960s, video was seen as empowering: the portability of early
equipment and the possibility of instant playback allowed artists
to challenge and at times subvert the mainstream media. Video art
in Latin America was--and still is--closely related to the desire
for social change. Themes related to gender, ethnic, and racial
identity as well as the consequences of social inequality and
ecological disasters have been fundamental to many artists'
practices. This compendium explores the history and current state
of artistic experimentation with video throughout Latin America.
Departing from the relatively small body of existing scholarship in
English, much of which focuses on individual countries, this volume
approaches the topic thematically, positioning video artworks from
different periods and regions throughout Latin America in dialogue
with each other. Organized in four broad sections--Encounters,
Networks and Archives, Memory and Crisis, and Indigenous
Perspectives--the book's essays and interviews encourage readers to
examine the medium of video across varied chronologies and
geographies.
