DO OUTRO LADO DO RIO
12.09.17 / 3:30pm
Lucas Bambozzi
Following the walk through, LAXART will present a special screening of the documentary Do Outro Lado do Rio (Across the River) (2004, 88 minutes) by artist Lucas Bambozzi, whose video Oiapoque-L’Oyapock (1998, 10 mins) in the Borders and Migrations program is a prequel to this feature length film. Exploring the highly transited border between Oiapoque, Brazil and St. Georges de L’Oyapock, French Guyana, the artist documents the stories of Brazilians who are dissatisfied with the conditions they live in and seek to cross into the French territory laying just across the river.
