# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Film Screening: Experimental Animation in the Era of Women’s Liberation
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 01:30 pm
- **Event Description**: In tandem with our current exhibition “Honey, You’re a Wonderful Model: Maria Lassnig’s Animated Films,” the Art Center will present a screening of nine short films made between 1970 and 1980. Curated and introduced by Associate Curator Ashton Cooper, the artists presented in these films worked in a range of contexts — from New York to Los Angeles and many places in between — and they all used the medium of animation to expand the forms and subjects of experimental film. Many of the films are incisive yet humorous self-portraits that investigate what it means to live, work, and love in a body labeled female.
