Description
Lis Rhodes: Telling Invents Told
Edited by María Palacios Cruz
The Visible Press, June 2019
Telling Invents Told is the first collection of writings by artist and filmmaker Lis Rhodes. It includes the influential essay Whose History? alongside texts from works such as Light Reading, Pictures on Pink Paper and A Cold Draft, as well as new and previously unpublished material. Since the 1970s, Rhodes has produced radical and experimental work that challenges hegemonic narratives and the power structures of language. Her writings address urgent political issues—from the refugee crisis to workers' rights, police brutality, racial discrimination, and homelessness—as well as film history and theory, from a feminist perspective. A key figure in the London Film-Makers' Co-operative, Rhodes was also a founding member of Circles, the first British distributor of films, videos, and performances by women artists.
