Revolución Puta questions the narratives about sex work without assuming debts to anyone, reclaiming the word in the first person. With members of the OMESPRO La Paz and Santa Cruz organisations as protagonists, the film transfers central debates from the world of prostitutes to a political and poetic space. Based on four short films – ‘The Whore’s Knowledge’, ‘The Whore and Work’, ‘The Whore and the State’ and ‘Testament’ – the feature-length film expands the purely cinematographic language to become a filmic political manifesto in the first person, without abandoning the construction of a poetic visual story.
The film will be shown for the first time in Braga, after being part of the Venice Biennale 2024 programme. Before the screening, Bolivian film director and anarcho-feminist activist María Galindo closes the Academy of Desire (12 June, 16:00), proposing a debate around the question ‘How can the desire to make a revolution be brought out of its slumber?’
Tickets for this activity must be collected directly from the gnration ticket office during normal opening hours.
