In her lecture Film, Fabric, and the Feminist Imagination, artist Sabrina Gschwandtner examines the intersections of film, textiles, and feminist histories in her moving-image practice.
Drawing on early cinema and overlooked films by women, she recovers marginalized histories—from pioneering directors to de-accessioned textile documentaries—and reanimates them through sewing, hand-painting, and quilting film.
By treating film as a tactile medium and a site of historical repair, Gschwandtner reconfigures the relationship between craft and cinema and recirculates the often-erased narratives of women’s labor, creativity, and reproductive life on screen.
