Connie Samaras: Edge of Twilight (Manifestos)/Letters of James Tiptree Jr and Joanna Russ (Tip and Jo)

Connie Samaras (UCI) (Writing): $6,200.00 for Edge of Twilight (Manifestos)/ Letters of James Tiptree Jr and Joanna Russ (Tip and Jo).

Research and script two new multi-channel video installation projects that use experimental S/F time travel genres as a frame to reanimate radical feminist and lesbian texts / manifestos from the seventies. The purpose of the work is to reflect on the complex, shifting intersections of marginalized, cross-generational personal experiences and political histories. Also, to consider the potential of the archive as a space to forge political alliances across timelines.
