  • George Gittoes: I Witness Teachers' Notes
    GEORGE GITTOES: I WITNESS TEACHERS’ NOTES George Gittoes, Evolution 2014, oil on paper INTRODUCTION “I believe in art so much that I am prepared to risk my life to do it. I physically go to these places. I also believe an artist can actually see and show things about what's going on that a paid professional journalist can't and won't do, and can show a level of humanity and complexity that they wouldn't cover on TV.” - George Gittoes George Gittoes: I Witness is the first major exhibition in Australia of the work of artist and film maker George Gittoes which surveys the last 45 years of his incredible career. Internationally recognised for working and creating art in regions of conflict around the world he has been an eye witness to war and human excess, and also to the possibilities of compassion. Beginning his career in the late 1960s, Gittoes was part of a group of artists including Brett Whiteley and Martin Sharp who established The Yellow House artist community in Sydney. This was followed by his move to Bundeena in the Sutherland region where he became an influential and instrument figure in community art projects and the development of Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Arts Centre. In the 1980s Gittoes began travelling to areas of conflict and his tireless energy for pushing the boundaries of art making has since seen him working in some of the most dangerous and difficult places on earth. He first travelled to Nicaragua and the Philippines, then the Middle East, Rwanda and Cambodia in the 1990s and more recently to Iraq and Afghanistan.

  • Globalisation and Coloniality of Power in También La Lluvia / Even the Rain (2010): Exploring Resistance and Indigenous Empowerment
    Suarez, Marta F and Herrero, Carmen (2020) Globalisation and Coloniality of Power in También la lluvia / Even the Rain (2010): Exploring Resistance and Indigenous Empowerment. Ottawa Hispanic Studies, 28. pp. 133-154. ISSN 2561-8180 Downloaded from: https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/624372/ Version: Accepted Version Publisher: Alter/Lugar Común Please cite the published version https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk Globalisation and Coloniality of Power in También la lluvia / Even the Rain (2010): Exploring Resistance and Indigenous Empowerment Marta Suárez Manchester Metropolitan University Liverpool John Moores University Carmen Herrero Manchester Metropolitan University This article analyses indigenous practices of resistance and empowerment in the face of neo-imperialism in Icíar Bollaín’s film También la lluvia / Even the Rain (2010). The film is set in Bolivia during the Water Wars of 1999, when the privatisation of water resulted in violent demonstrations. In the narrative, a transnational film crew arrives in Cochabamba to shoot a film about the violent colonisation of the Americas. This dialogue between what the historical film denounces and what the wider film narrative exposes highlights the unequal distribution of power, income and wealth in contemporary Bolivia. A third filmic experience, a behind-the-scenes documentary, comments on film practices and how cinema is constrained by the financial and creative markets in which it operates. The relationships between the three films problematise truth, authenticity and history. Using Anibal Quijano’s notion of coloniality of power and Manuel Castells, Saskia Sassen and Zygmunt Bauman’s work on globalisation and human value, this paper investigates how notions of colonialism, coloniality and neo-imperialism are configured within the film.

Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012, is the culmination of this series. Cast in bronze from a willow that had been struck by lightning, it both captures a moment in time and stands fixed as a profoundly evocative and timeless monument.

    5 The articulation of memory and desire: from Vietnam to the war in the Persian Gulf John Storey In this chapter I want to explore, within a context of culture and power, the complex relations between memory and desire.1 More specifically, I want to connect 1980s Hollywood representations of America’s war in Vietnam (what I will call ‘Hollywood’s Vietnam’) with George Bush’s campaign, in late 1990 and early 1991, to win support for US involvement in what became the Gulf War. My argu- ment is that Hollywood produced a particular ‘regime of truth’2 about America’s war in Vietnam and that this body of ‘knowledge’ was ‘articulated’3 by George Bush as an enabling ‘memory’ in the build up to the Gulf War. Vietnam revisionism and the Gulf War In the weeks leading up to the Gulf War, Newsweek featured a cover showing a photograph of a serious-looking George Bush. Above the photograph was the banner headline, ‘This will not be another Viet- nam’. The headline was taken from a speech made by Bush in which he said, ‘In our country, I know that there are fears of another Viet- nam. Let me assure you . this will not be another Vietnam.’4 In another speech, Bush again assured his American audience that, ‘This will not be another Vietnam . Our troops will have the best possi- ble support in the entire world.
