In this ‘lyrical documentary about the intersection of location and imagination’ (New York Times), filmmaker Chiara Clemente shines a light on five women artists whose inspiration is fuelled by the “cauldron of creativity” – New York City.
The artists, Nancy Spero, Marina Abramovic, Kiki Smith, Ghada Amer and Swoon – are at different stages of life and have widely varying cultural backgrounds; each has a distinctive passion, character, motivation and artistic style. But they all have one thing in common: the city to which they have journeyed and now call home.
