Join us for a screening of the 1987 film Ana Mendieta: Fuego de Tierra, in conjunction with the 2026 Oregon Contemporary Artists’ Biennial: The Price of the Ticket. The screening will be followed by a discussion led by Marcelo Fontana, curator of the current Collins Gallery exhibit, Invite Hope, that is one of the many programs and installations for the Biennial.
"This beautiful film is a portrait of the life and work of Cuban-born American artist Ana Mendieta. Mendieta used her own body, the raw materials of nature, and Afro-Cuban religion to express her feminist political consciousness and poetic vision. Interview footage with Mendieta and her own filmed records of her earthworks and performances are incorporated to render a vivid testament to her energy and extraordinary talent after her tragic, untimely death in 1985."
