About

Goal

This research addresses the need for more English-language resources about the history of video art from Latin America and provides access to key works from the region. It links archival resources to new interdisciplinary scholarship and reexamines canonical narratives of video art within the context of Pan-American practices. The project aims to expand the historical and conceptual frameworks for studying video art within a global context.
