Cadence Video Poetry Festival – an imperceptible mark

Tracing a multilingual lineage through the condensation of our collective memory, this showcase peers into the abstract spaces of female poets. A feature-length video poem and an accompanying screendance expand our understanding of mother tongue and of presence, even in absence. Have we forgotten what the women before us bore, broke, and buried to survive? A chorus of layered voices invites us to remember.

This showcase features a poetic screendance: “Ausencia (Absence)” from Mexico. In a place woven with memories, absence is invoked only to be recognized as something filled with presence.
