From the militant cinema of the 70s to smartphones documenting the Arab Spring, the moving image captures fragments of history in the making.
The exhibition brings together the work of artists and collectives who, through their research, propose an alternative vision to what might be described as the official version (those of politicians and the media). In this way, artists give a voice to the unheard, or to facts ignored by history, based on the principle that to record is to bear witness, to reconstitute a history, facts; but also to resist.
