I chose to watch videos from Mary Reid Kelley, Mika Tajima, and Doris Salcedo– between the three artists, there was a general theme of giving voices to the unspoken. Kelley was producing films that were giving voices to women in history and their traumas, which she explains are hardly focused on during the time of WWI in the face of male trauma. I was really interested in the way she drew women from that time period and how they appeared monotone in her films. Tajima was focused on showing the art of the “behind the scenes” and how each part of behind the scenes work in films is an art in of itself, and she employed people like those from Toastmasters to help with her work. Salcedo is interested in showing the suffering from the violence people undergo in Columbia because of the bad conditions in some areas of the country, and a large part of her project was depicting a crack in the street. I find it interesting that every woman here is trying to give voice to the unvoiced and that their projects are hoping to represent even a smidge of representation to those who don’t have voices.
