Drawing especially on the encounters and relationships that defined
her exceptional career, The Sustainable Legacy of Agnès Varda
outlines a sustainable legacy for the celebrated director and
visual artist. Over nine chapters, it unpacks how creation,
connection, and environment form the core of Varda’s artistry,
which centers foremost on relationships with her family, with other
artists, even with passersby she would meet in her travels around
the world. Also celebrating her feminist legacy, the chapters cover
a wide range, from the classic Cléo from 5 to 7 (1962) to
documentaries The Beaches of Agnès (2008) and Faces Places (2017)
as well as selected art installations. The book’s final section
is dedicated to teaching Varda’s work; here, ten scholars from
around the world consider how Varda’s art and feminist pedagogies
offer unique ways to bring crucial concepts into the classroom. By
seeking a sustainable praxis to discuss and teach Varda’s work,
and by making pedagogical concerns an explicit part of this
approach, this book argues that Varda’s insights about the nature
of creative work will inspire new generations of viewers and
audiences.
