Three Films by Ana Mendieta
at Museum of Modern Art, New York
From 15 November 2024
Three films by Ana Mendieta from the collection will be screened at MoMA, New York, ongoing from 15 November 2024. Centred on themes of metamorphosis and identity, the films were made in places of personal significance: Cuba, Iowa and Mexico. Mendieta made her first films on Super 8, the tool she turned to when she recorded her long-running Silueta Series. Film, as a medium, aligned with the artist’s interest in process and her wish to convey the immediacy of her chosen sites.
