The 3rd session of Spanish in Motion (Domesticating Opinion: Propaganda and Censorship) presents Prototype for a good emigration (Prototipo para una buena
emigración, 25 min., 2005.
In Spanish) by artist Josep-María Martín In this documentary, Martín talks about his project produced as part of InSite_05, a biennial event that engages the border area between San Diego, USA and Tijuana, Mexico, through a series of specially commissioned and site-specific works and exhibitions.
The invitation to participate in the exhibition made Martín reflect on the south to north migration. His resulting project, Prototype for a good emigration, was censured by the local authorities and the organisation decided to withdraw it because 'there was a risk of encouraging illegal migration'.
Josep-María Martín's artistic projects have focused on the use of art to create new strategies of intervention in some social structures which appear well consolidated in modern societies but which are not entirely free of cracks. He questions and criticises, in a subjective and reflexive way, the reality in which he decides to work.
After the film, there will be a Q/A session with Josep-María Martín. Please note that this event will be conducted in Spanish. This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information
