A new USC Fisher Museum of Art exhibition, curated by USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences professor Erin Graff Zivin, features the experimental films of Narcisa Hirsch. Working with Graff Zivin, our USC Digital Library and USC Digital Repository teams digitized more than thirty original films held by the Filmoteca Narcisa Hirsch in Argentina with support from USC Research and Innovation.

"Narcisa Hirsch: In Relation" is on display through December 9: https://fisher.usc.edu/exhibitions/narcisa-hirsch-in-relation/

A leading Argentine newspaper, LA NACION, recently featured the resurgence of interest in Hirsch's work—a direct result of the digitization of her films here at USC: https://www.lanacion.com.ar/cultura/narcisa-hirsch-la-artista-argentina-que-gana-fama-internacional-sin-haberla-buscado-nid07102023/

USC Fisher Museum of Art is proud to announce the presentation of "Narcisa Hirsch: In Relation," an exhibition of eight recently digitized films by Narcisa Hirsch, a pioneer of Argentinian experimental cinema who started working in the 1970s with delicate mediums such as Super8 and 16mm film. The exhibition focuses on the relational quality inherent in Hirsch’s work, demonstrated by techniques of translation, adaptation, and experimentation between her films and other artistic media (dance, literature, music, painting, graffiti, and performance), as well as between her work and that of other artists.

"Narcisa Hirsch: In Relation" is curated by Erin Graff Zivin, Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and Comparative Literature at the University of Southern California, where she is Director of the USC Dornsife Experimental Humanities Lab and Acting Director of the Society of Fellows in the Humanities.
