Where Marina Abramović's shocking debut performance was censored in Amsterdam fifty years ago, now she's considered a superstar. How can new generations of artists who face suppression today ensure their work gets seen?
This documentary reveals how Marina Abramović's first performance in Amsterdam was censored fifty years ago. Now, Abramović is a superstar with a headline-grabbing exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum. But new generations of artists, such as Basma al-Sharif, an artist with Palestinian roots, still face difficulties: incomprehension, marginalisation and outright suppression. The documentary poses a seemingly simple, but multi-layered question: who decides what we see? Featuring unique archive material and exclusive interviews, including with Marina Abramović herself.
