Elektroničke Vještice
A film by Maja Čule
Neda, a recent immigrant to New York, seeks connection as they move through the city in fragments: temporary sublets, friendships on screens, precarious jobs, the forging of documents, and an online relationship with their father in Slani Štapić, Croatia.

In a late night session of internet browsing, Neda comes across a queer cyberfeminist group – Elektroničke Vještice, who taught women in Yugoslavia to use the internet in the 1990s. This discovery grows into an IRL search for Elektroničke Vještice, queer family, a sense of belonging and love.

Films by Ira Eduardovna
Followed by a Conversation and Reception

Join us for a screening of two works by Ira Eduardovna: THE IRON ROAD (video installation, 22 min) and TONGUE BEHIND TEETH (narrative short, 25 min). The screening will be followed by a conversation with the artist and a reception.

Ira Eduardovna (b. Tashkent, Uzbekistan) is a New York City–based video installation artist and filmmaker. Her work reconstructs autobiographical narratives to explore themes of migration and displacement through non-linear storytelling.

THE IRON ROAD is a two-channel video installation that reenacts her family’s departure from Uzbekistan. TONGUE BEHIND TEETH marks her narrative debut.

Eduardovna is the recipient of numerous awards and grants, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, support from the New York Foundation for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts, as well as the Ostrovsky Family Fund and the Jerome Foundation. Her work has been exhibited internationally. She received her MFA from Hunter College in 2012.
