Studio Voltaire
May 2023
Olga Grotova was joined by renowned feminist art historian Griselda Pollock, in a discussion that centred on Grotova's practice-based research project, The Friendship Garden. Grotova and Pollock discussed the power of art, specifically film and painting, as mediums to examine historical and intergenerational trauma.
Through the lens of Pollock's work on concentrationism, affect and the aesthetics of resistance, they discussed the need for art that disturbs and interrupts dominant narratives, brings to light forgotten and obscured histories and that shakes or shocks us into action.
