Film Series/Exhibition Title:
Monique Wittig: Twenty Years Later / Monique Wittig: Vingt ans aprèsDescription:
Beatriz Santiago Muñoz’s first feature film, Oriana, “entwines the linguistic structure of Monique Wittig’s iconic 1969 feminist novel Les Guérillères with the material and conceptual ground of the Caribbean. It visualizes the ecstatic potential of a near-future, non-binary world order through the struggles of its protagonists to imagine a new sort of sensorium—an autonomous language of post-colonial and post-patriarchal society” (EMPAC). Filming in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, Santiago Muñoz collaborated with a cast of Caribbean musicians, poets, artists, and performers.
