No Time to Rest!

Film at SFMOMA joins forces with arts and nonprofit institutions across the U.S. working collectively as the Feminist Art Coalition, an initiative organized around feminist thought and practice. No Time to Rest! is a five-part program of films by women that foreground the possibilities of resistance and activism as it critiques power structures, reclaims historical narratives, seeks bodily autonomy and reframes the act of representation in direct confrontation with patriarchal, racist and capitalist legacies. Available online at sfmoma.org and co-curated by Rudolf Frieling, SFMOMA curator of media arts, and Gina Basso, SFMOMA manager of film, the program features Eve Fowler, Jeanne C. Finley, Kelly Gallagher, Ja'Tovia Gary and Lynn Hershman Leeson.
