Freaks
Accompanying show for Nadia Markiewicz's exhibition MISTERIOSO
We invite you to a screening accompanying Nadia Markiewicz's exhibition "Misterioso." Before the screening, we invite you to watch a video preview of Babcia – a mystic and performer.
The screening of Tod Browning's film Freaks accompanies Nadia Markiewicz's exhibition as a historical context for her research on the relationship between disability, performance, and spectacle.
Made in 1932, the film is set in a traveling circus and tells the story of a group of performers appearing in freak shows.
The film, which was controversial at the time of its release, now serves as an important point of reference in reflecting on the history of the representation of non-normative bodies in 20th-century culture.

The screening at KINOMUZEUM is part of the program accompanying the exhibition and invites reflection on the changing ways of representing disability in art and visual culture.
