This special film screening event which complements the USC Fisher Museum of Art exhibition, Narcisa Hirsch: In Relation, will showcase a carefully curated selection of films spanning over half a century. You’ll have the opportunity to delve into the conceptual, formal, sensual, and metaphysical themes that populate Hirsch’s frames through early films in super 8 and 16mm, which have been recently digitized at the USC Digital Repository. These historic films will be screened alongside her more recent video work “Materia Negra” (Dark Matter) from 2023.
The one-hour screening will be followed by a 30-minute panel discussion with Erin Graff Zivin (Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and Comparative Literature, USC), Noraedén Mora Méndez (Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow, Latin American and Iberian Cultures, USC), Inger Flem Soto (Doctoral Candidate, Comparative Studies in Literature and Culture, USC), and Franchesca Rotger (PhD student, Comparative Studies in Literature and Culture, USC). Light refreshments will be served after the Q&A.
