In Beatriz Santiago Muñoz’s ORIANA, a band of feminist warriors takes refuge in a verdant Puerto Rican landscape. Inspired by French writer and theorist Monique Wittig’s radical 1969 novel Les Guérillères, the film visualizes possibilities for a new world. Muñoz presents the film alongside her exquisite short GOSILA (2018), about sense-making in the wake of Hurricane Maria.
Beatriz Santiago Muñoz lives and works in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her expanded moving-image practice brings together Boalian theater, experimental ethnography, and feminist thought to focus on the sensorial unconscious of anti-colonial movements and everyday poetic work in the Caribbean. Her artworks have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally, including solo shows at Argos Centre for Audiovisual Art, Brussels; Pivô, São Paulo; CRAC Alsace, Altkirch, France; Espacio Odeón, Bogotá; Pérez Art Museum Miami; and the New Museum, New York. She received a master of fine arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1997.
