NO MASTER TERRITORIES: Barbara McCullough, Water Ritual 1: An Urban Rite of Purification (1979)

“Water Ritual is a beginning point in my quest to create cathartic experiences for myself and my community...” - Barbara McCullough Inspired by a friend’s mental breakdown and working in collaboration with performer Yolanda Vidato, filmmaker Barbara McCullough explores the possibilities of transformation through the cleansing of the environment and of the self. The work “Water Ritual #1: An Urban Rite of Purification” was filmed in an area of the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles that had been razed to make way for the construction of the Interstate 105 highway but was then left abandoned. Bridging the fields of documentary and artists’ film, the exhibition No Master Territories: Feminist Worldmaking and the Moving Image assembles a plurality of practices to offer an expansive, intersectional account of underappreciated encounters between feminism and the moving image. Across a polycentric, global geography, it maps how artists and filmmakers have explored the nexus of gender and power and charts sites at which feminism connects to other struggles for justice.

Defending Indigenous Rights... In 1990, members of the Mohawk nation protested the increasing expansion of the city of Oka into their territory. The local Canadian police reacted violently to the blockade. Filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin followed the so-called Oka crisis – called the Kanehsatà:ke resistance by many Indigenous people – on film. The documentary became Obomsawin’s best-known film and can be seen in the exhibition dedicated to her life’s work at HKW and its online cinema.
