Flowers of Antimony. Premiere of her new film
The Puerto Rico-based artist presents the world premiere of her new film, Flowers of Antimony. The film was commissioned as part of her fall 2008 Capp Street Project artist residency at the CCA Wattis Institute. To produce it Santiago worked with a number of anarchist and radical-leftist individuals and groups in the Bay Area, including the Long Haul and Free Radio Berkeley. As is typical of her practice, the actors are not professionals, and the narratives are unscripted and improvised.
