RADICAL ACTS OF CARE: ACT VI

Kelly Gallagher

August 27 – September 27, 2020

From Ally to Accomplice

Kelly Gallagher | USA | digital | 18 min | 2015  A loving evocation of the actions of militant abolitionist John Brown and revolutionary fighter Marilyn Buck. Kelly Gallagher’s analytical essay film is an achievement in engaged cinema, with a polemical title that is ever relevant. How much do you care, and how far are you willing to go to act on it? The drive to do the right thing, the distance in passage from ally to accomplice is a function of ethics that Gallagher measures in this and the entirety of her artistic project. — Greg de Cuir Jr.    All artwork & materials courtesy of the artist.
