The program Worlds World Worlds, presented in The Screening Room in parallel to the exhibition A Woman You Thought You Knew, presents works by Basma Alsharif, Ana Teresa Fernández, Heesoo Kwon, Anna Molska, Sandra Monterroso, and a special screening of Lynn Hershman Leeson’s !Women Art Revolution (2010). The artists construct alternative realities and immerse the viewers in a post-patriarchal future where ancestral narratives are resurfaced and cultural norms are rewritten. The program title alludes to the concept of world-building in Donna Haraway’s book Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene (2016), which calls attention to the power of the individual to imagine and construct new frameworks as a survival tactic: “It matters what thoughts think thoughts. It matters what knowledges know knowledges. It matters what relations relate relations. It matters what worlds world worlds. It matters what stories tell stories.”
Worlds World Worlds is presented in KADIST San Francisco’s Screening Room, a dedicated space to profile the diversity of video art and its form by featuring video works from the KADIST collection. It is co-curated by Lindsay Albert and Lauren Pirritano.
