- Title
Curating Disruption: Reflections from Peru on Feminist Film Archiving.
- Authors
Yepes-Rossel, Gabriela
- Abstract
In this article, I show the potential of feminist film archiving to unsettle dominant paradigms in Peruvian film historiography. I describe my work as a curator of Rebeldes y Valientes (1913–2019) (Rebels and Braves, 1913–2019), the first digital archive that sheds light on the participation of women filmmakers in the history of Peruvian cinema. I argue that Rebels and Braves has challenged the overrepresentation of male filmmakers constructed by Peruvian film historiography, even as it was constrained in its capacity to redress the structural conditions that erase and delegitimize women's contributions to film. This article also makes the case for a disruptive archive that visualizes a feminist approach to curation and film history.
