'Rendition' by @EuridiceZaitunaKala on view now at @CSVToronto until May 30.
This cinematic essay questions how a state’s broken promise can define the identity and political action of a marginalized group for over three decades, revealing a story of suspended citizenship and the human cost of global political transitions.
Documented by Ema Walters (@innocentscientist ) at the opening reception.
Curated by Nima Esmailpour (@archeology.of.aftertime )
Co-presented with Charles Street Video (@csvtoronto )
We are grateful for the support of the Ontario Arts Council (@OntarioArtsCouncil )
Looking for something free to get up to?
Join us, until May 30th, for “Rendition”.
Created by Euridice Zaituna Kala ( @euridicezaitunakala ) — as a part of “Every Worker Should Have Equal Labour Rights,” curated by Nima Esmailpour ( @archeology.of.aftertime ).
Euridice’s work focuses on cultural and historical metamorphoses, their manipulations and their ad-aptations. Reproducing the visual vocabulary of historical archives in order to reveal not only their subjectivity, but also those they have invisibilized. Euridice questions the appropriation of black bodies through their representation in archives; but rather than seizing their history, she attempts to reaffirm their existence.

Received to much acclaim for the labour arts community, “Rendition’s” context is rooted in the complex geopolitical and socio-economic consequences of the Cold War’s end, specifically concerning contract labor migration between the People’s Republic of Mozambique (PRM) and the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
