This video compilation is part of the educational guide produced as part of Archive/Counter-Archive’s (A/CA) Case Study,
Through Feminist Lenses: Video Works at Groupe Intervention Vidéo with Groupe Intervention Vidéo. A Montréal-based artist-run centre founded in Montreal in 1975, Groupe Intervention Vidéo (GIV) is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of media artworks by women (women is used here in the most inclusive sense of the term), distributing and disseminating them while actively supporting production. Over the years, GIV video artists have shed light on important questions and themes: revolution, domesticity, gender, HIV/AIDS, LGBT2Q+, immigration, racism, and many more. The A/CA Case Study thinks about the ways in which video artists have approached these subjects from 1975 to now, amidst the continuous shifts in video technology and production contexts.
