12Gates & PAAFF's Contemporary Video Art Exhibition 2024

Experimental, Contemporary video art
South and South-West Asia, North Africa (SSWANA)

The 6th iteration of the Contemporary Video Art Exhibition celebrates contemporary video art—that is, contemporary art using recorded moving images—created by artists from South and South-West Asia, North Africa (SSWANA), as well as artists of indentured Indian descent and their diasporas. This 6th edition of the juried show will be co-presented by Twelve Gates Arts (12G) and the Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival (PAAFF). Film screenings will take place at Twelve Gates Arts Gallery on Saturday, Nov 2nd, 12 PM - 2 PM.

Subjects and themes for the exhibit include queer, controversial, poetic, abstract, political, philosophical, uncensored – anything that stretches beyond conventional. We look forward to producing a thought-provoking and inspiring exhibit to follow the well-received exhibits in 2015, 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2023 which drew submissions from contemporary artists across the globe.
