The Sustainable Legacy of Agn鑚 Varda: Feminist Practice and Pedagogy - Paperback
by Colleen Kennedy-Karpat (Editor), Feride ﾇi軻koglu (Editor)
Drawing especially on the encounters and relationships that defined her exceptional career, The Sustainable Legacy of Agn鑚 Varda outlines a sustainable legacy for the celebrated director and visual artist. Over nine chapters, it unpacks how creation, connection, and environment form the core of Varda's artistry, which centers foremost on relationships with her family, with other artists, even with passersby she would meet in her travels around the world.
Also celebrating her feminist legacy, the chapters cover a wide range, from the classic Cl駮 from 5 to 7 (1962) to documentaries The Beaches of Agn鑚 (2008) and Faces Places (2017) as well as selected art installations. The book's final section is dedicated to teaching Varda's work; here, ten scholars from around the world consider how Varda's art and feminist pedagogies offer unique ways to bring crucial concepts into the classroom. By seeking a sustainable praxis to discuss and teach Varda's work, and by making pedagogical concerns an explicit part of this approach, this book argues that Varda's insights about the nature of creative work will inspire new generations of viewers and audiences.Colleen Kennedy-Karpat teaches film and media studies at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey.
