'Poison the Cure' | Conversation and screening with Jenna Bliss, Alex Fleming and Las Nietas de Nonó
'Poison the Cure' | Conversation and screening with Jenna Bliss, Alex Fleming and Las Nietas de Nonó
Saturday 10 June 2017
Jenna Bliss and Alex Fleming will discuss the research and production process which informed her new film 'Poison the Cure' (2017), including Bliss' work with artist and actor Michel Nonó of the performance collective Las Nietas de Nonó. They will draw on their previous projects to explore shared interests in narratives of addiction, self-care and pharmacology.
A screening will follow of Las Nietas de Nonó’s 'Manifestaciones en periodos de caza' (2016) – depicting four women hunting iguanas in Puerto Rico, a US colony where 80% of the food is imported – as well as a Skype conversation with Las Nietas de Nonó.
Jenna Bliss' Poison the Cure (2017) was commissioned by Raven Row for '56 Artillery Lane' and is supported using public funding by Art Council England.

Presented as part of the exhibition '56 Artillery Lane' at Raven Row.
For this exhibition ‘home’ is imagined as a space for social, sexual and political agency, and the 'domestic’ as a stage on which kinship and self are formed and transformed through acts of love, cruelty and indifference.

Participants in 56 Artillery Lane include Chantal Akerman, Ego Ahaiwe Sowinski, Soofiya Andry, Dr Meg-John Barker, Khairani Barokka, Pandora Blake, Phoebe Blatton, Jenna Bliss, Rizvana Bradley, Daniel Brathwaite-Shirley, Ben Burgis & Ksenia Pedan, Autumn Chacon, Channels, Adam Christensen, Fiona Clark, Lucy Clout, Fran Cottell, Phoebe Davies & Nandi Bhebhe, Jemma Desai, Fenixº, Alex Fleming, Keira Fox, Richard Fung, Harry Giles, Carry Gorney, Alice Hattrick, Candice Hopkins, Juliet Jacques, Nazmia Jamal (Sisters Uncut), Alice Jones, Jacob V Joyce, Bhanu Kapil, Morag Keil & Georgie Nettell, Sarah Kent, Las Nietas de Nonó, Gail Lewis, Rudy Loewe, Suzy Mackie (See Red Women's Workshop), Hamish MacPherson, Mira Mattar, Zinzi Minott, Merata Mita, Irenosen Okojie, Lucy Orta, Meera Osborne, Maria Pinińska-Bereś, Ingrid Pollard, Steve Reinke, Su Richardson, Christine Roche, RUSS, Stanley Spencer, Barbara T.
