Amos Gebhardt presents Small acts of resistance, a new multi-channel video installation demonstrating the power of kinship and community for those outside of the mainstream. Across three screens, we witness survival play out within a variety of Australian contexts. Gebhardt uses portraiture, dance, song and play to tell stories of strength and evolution as a means by which to destabilise oppressive norms and celebrate more expansive and inclusive notions of being.
Small acts of resistance was created through the South Australian Film Corporation and SALA Festival’s inaugural Artist in Residence commission, and is presented as part of the 2020 Adelaide Film Festival.
