DAIRY

Dairy contests the invisibilization of female and animal labor in Argentine rural history. Departing from the first domestic school for the education of women, this visual essay raises questions about archival violence, gender politics, and interspecies cooperation in the making of regional identities. By shedding light on how women played a fundamental role in fostering the practices that continue to define the region to today, Dairy works against past narratives of erasure and imagines approaches to the present that pay particular attention to the role of marginalized communities. Subtly informed by contemporary ecofeminist theory, the film underscores some systematic omissions in hegemonic historical archives.
