Na tokratnem Video večeru bo predstavila svojo feministično umetniško prakso zadnjih desetih let. Prikazala bo izbrane odlomke iz video dokumentacije performansov, v katerih je tematizirala več umetniških del različnih umetnic, posamezne umetnice in nekatere pomembne ženske osebnosti iz preteklosti. Predstavila bo nabor avdiovizualnih del in ob tem razmišljala o prehajanju med različnimi zvrstmi v katerih ustvarja, kot npr. umetniški video, dokumentarni in eksperimentalni film, animacija. Zaključila bo s predstavitvijo prakse dolgoročnega raziskovanja in skupnega premišljevanja o izbranih temah s pomočjo video pogovorov in umetniških sodelovanj.
