SCREENING: IT ALL STARTED WITH A MOUSE

The curatorial screening selection is dedicated to the storytelling of human narratives through animal actors. Current social and systemic issues are reflected through surreal scenes where ostriches chat about sleep deprivation, a family of moles is trying to focus on endless counting, and where lizards are calling for social justice. The selected works thematize the issue of stereotypical portrayal of animal characters and ask about the limits of anthropomorphization – what would a world look like if animals behaved the same as humans?
