about Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich’s (@madeleine_hunt_ehrlich) “The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire” (2024) and the film’s surrealist approach to Suzanne Césaire, archival fragments, and the politics of seeing. “That’s central to her articulation of camouflage: the tourist isn’t able to see. Beauty itself is a form of camouflage, and there’s a duality where camouflage also acts as a form of resistance. The islands are not allowing people to see through its beauty.” Read more from Evans’s conversation with Adams and Gardner in Burnaway’s special edition broadsheet, available at the Atlanta Art Fair from Thursday, October 1 to Sunday, October 4. Come by Atlanta Contemporary (@atlantacontemporary) on Saturday, October 3 from 11am–1pm for a screening of The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire and pick up a copy of the broadsheet. — 1-3.
