TICKETS: Free for Members | $8 for the general public

The art of film has long provoked reflection on the ways humans interact with each other and our world. This summer, the PhxArt x Lisa Sette Gallery Summer Films series Politics, People, and Society offers a global view on how politics, cultural + societal beliefs, and other factors inform individual identity, community relations, and sometimes, entire nations and social structures. The series also complements special exhibition Multiple Realities: Experimental Art in the Eastern Bloc, 1960s-1980s, which explores how artists found novel ways to express themselves during a time when art-making was heavily monitored by governmental systems and policies.

In Colombia, a nation marred by profound racial and socio-economic disparities, a Black woman from a rural background challenges the status quo by launching a presidential campaign. Reclaiming the term “igualada,” Francia Márquez, catapults a movement to the upper echelons of power. Fifteen years in the making, this documentary peels back the curtain on how unprecedented change can happen.

Presented in Spanish with English subtitles. Not rated. Estimated runtime 81 min.

This film series is made possible by the Lisa Sette Gallery.
