About the Exhibition
Dope Women in Media: Honoring the Women of Film in Metro Detroit, taking place at the Ann Arbor Art Center as a part of the Ann Arbor Film Festival’s “Off the Screen Series,” recognizes the women from the greater Detroit Area in film, video, photo, and new media and their research, contribution, and impact to contemporary art and popular culture. Including both emerging and seasoned artists and filmmakers, the exhibition presents audio, video, film, and new media installation work. Often with Detroit as a backdrop as well as a main character, Dope Women in Media weaves together stories concerning urban ecologies, resilience, violence, familial history, and more to create a collaborative voice. Bringing these works together showcases the innovative and critical work in our region.
