URBAN STORIES
The City as Inspiration, Motif and Imagination

VIDEO WINDOW will be visiting the Cinemateca do Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro in mid-July 2022, where it will present a diverse screening programme devoted to the subject of the metropolis. The programme, which premiered in Zurich in early 2020, offers wide-ranging insights into current and traditional Swiss video art in dialogue with Brazilian artists.

At an evening event (PANORAMA), 25 well-known artists ­– 21 from Switzerland and four from Brazil – will show 33 videos covering urban locations right around the globe – in Europe, Brazil, South Africa and Asia. Individual projections and artist’s talks (FOCUS) with Veronika Spierenburg (CH), Marco Chaves (BR) and Dias & Riedweg (BR/CH) are planned for three further evenings. URBAN STORIES will surprise its audience in ways that encourage it to critically address the urbanisation of our planet.
