Cinema: The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire

Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich, Michelle A. Tisdel
  • 18:00
    20:00

The Martinican writer and activist Suzanne Césaire called surrealism "the tightrope of our hope" – a metaphor for art as a balancing act between liberation and resistance. Welcome to the screening of The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire (2024) by Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich, a genre-defying portrait of an artist who didn't want to be remembered.

Before the screening, social anthropologist Michelle A. Tisdel will give a lecture on surrealism as a unifying force in anti-colonial movements and women's contributions to Pan-African liberation struggles.

The event will be held in English. The programme is part of the Artist Portrait series. The series is supported by the Norwegian Film Institute.
