Eclipse in the Garden by Yuula Benivolski
6' 14'' / Super8 / Canada / 2021 My mother always wanted a garden, and now she has one. A poem about family genealogy that highlights the relationship between a name and a place. Tatars and other non-Russian communities in the USSR were forced to go through Russification - the spread of Russian language, culture, and people into non-Russian cultures and regions. Forcing the many minority groups within Russia to accept the Russian culture was an attempt to prevent self-determination and separatism. As a result my mother, a Tatar woman born in Moscow, never properly learned her mother tongue or practiced Tatar traditions outside her family home. Composed of super 8 home movies. |
Yuula Benivolski (1980, Moscow) works in photography, film/video and installation. She uses autofiction and personal narratives as way to encourage a closer understanding of collective memories and their
historical contexts. |
