Desvelar is a remote film screening and online Q&A session that serves as a prologue to DASH’s new central and cyclical public programme strand, ‘Disclosure’.

DASH and academic staff from Teesside University / Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, MIMA are excited to be working with Brazilian artist Anna Costa E Silva following DASH’s collaboration with Delfina Foundation. As a filmmaker, Silva approaches the idea of madness in an intersectional way, using affection as a methodology. She facilitates space through film for people to ‘speak with their chest’ even when it’s tricky.

In September, we are premiering three of her films for the first time in Britain: Ventário (2024), Please read it for me to rest in peace (2023), and Please read it for me to rest in peace – Choir (2024), the latter two directed with Nanda Félix.

The meaning of disclosure in Portuguese is propagation and revelation. Silva’s body of work is profoundly steeped in these two ideas, asking us to pause and think about what is shown and what is hidden. Exploring the materiality of silence, all three films examine how silences grow and affect us and how people are left with the things they haven’t spoken about.

What’s alive in you today? And what are you urging to come out?
