The 12th edition of HTMlles Festival is happening at venues across Montreal, opening November 3 and running to November 6.
Produced and coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the feminist artist-run space Studio XX, the international biennial festival brings together a wide range of artists, activists and scholars who engage with socio-political topics and their relation to the web through a feminist, trans, and gender non-conforming perspective.
Each year, a specific theme is discussed through performances, exhibitions, conferences and workshops, with this one being ‘Terms of Privacy’ and will explore intimacy and politics in relation to transparency.
Some recommendations include:
CTRL + [SELF] : Intimacy, extimacy and control in the age of the overexposure of self group exhibition featuring Amalia Ulman, Eva + Franco Mattes and Daniela Müller, among others.
A series of video screenings Shadow Stories featuring Sabrina Ratté and Kim Kielhofner, among others.
The Future Memories group exhibition featuring Ambivalently Yours, Sophia Borowska, Zeesy Powers, and Zinnia Naqvi.
Monica Rekas performance Root Work (Work That Root).
Spam: Social Media Funhouse With Radio Transmission multimedia installation and durational performance by Gambletron + Johnny Forever.
