WAR, INSUBMISSION, ART

Project in Residency Falconetti Peña

In 1924, coinciding with the tenth anniversary of the end of World War I, Otto Dix published his work The War, composed of fifty engravings in which he denounced warmongering with a harshness that had not been seen until then. A century earlier, Goya, a painter who inspired Otto Dix, produced The Disasters of War. And now, one hundred years later, a cruel and senseless war is once again being fought in Europe.

Otto Dix is located between two times, Goya's and ours. The project for this exhibition/intervention is to take his engravings as a starting point for a journey through the art that has rebelled against war slogans.

Goya, Dix, Grosz, Arntz, Watkins and many other artists defied the prevailing aesthetic order by creating works of enormous relevance. To do so, they used modest formats, the engraving, the poster, the mimeographed magazine, the pamphlet, the false documentary, the only ones they could access in times of censorship and blockade. These are works that managed to last against all odds, as there were many who were interested in making them disappear.

Thanks to them, today we can follow the trail of those who in their day disobeyed the patriotic slogans, maintaining the flame of resistance to the war madness.

The project will cover various spaces and historical periods, combining different formats, pictorial, graphic and audiovisual.

The idea is to contrast them, face to face, with the messages of those who at the time bet on galvanizing the warrior ardor of the masses.

In 2003 the reality of war set in, amd the roar of the mainstream media seemed to deafen ours ears and stifle our voices. Hudson Mohawk Independent Media center respond by coming together to make these three documentaries. Independent Media in a time of war, Voices Against War, Women's fast for peace.

The post-war period and the New World Order told through documentaries, war films, propaganda and photographs. Waco, Oklahoma City, September 11, the war on terrorism and Special Laws, the "Other America" and the destruction of the 10 amendments. The Pentagon is born from the need to bring together counter-information and journalistic rigor, continuing the operation that began with the radio spots "Iraq 2 Special Edition", "death for sale" and "The Black Mirror of Democracy".

" A commentary on the silent side that surrounds the act of war, the film illustrates my sensibility as a human being to the small details, which pass, unnoticed in a war..."

A story of the war in Iraq from a perspective rarely seen. The primary point of view is Iraqi - a family grieving the tragic death of its eldest son. After years of hard work, Ra'ad, an Iraqi portrait photographer, has saved enough money to open his own shop. On the night of the opening, while volunteering to guard the ancient mosque in Kadhimiya, Ra'ad is shot and killed by an American patrol.

From conflicts and uprisings in Cincinnati, racism and misery, to the events that have shaken the start of this new century. Until there is justice there will not be peace. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE offers a window into the world of today's politically active youth. This compelling video presents portraits of four Ohio college students who are active in a variety of issues including the fight for equal education, affirmative action, affordable housing, civil liberties, and women's rights; an end to racial profiling and police brutality; and the Israeli-Palestine conflict. While all four share a passion for justice and equality, their perspectives, strategies and tactics differ - offering the audience a look at the complexity of youth activism in the new millennium.
