Ways to Traverse a Territory

18 Jun, 2025, 6.00 PM @ Kunsthaus Dahlem

Event language: English

Located on the edge of Berlin’s Grunewald forest and neighboring the Brücke Museum, Kunsthaus Dahlem is a unique space for postwar modernism in Germany. Once an artist’s studio, it now brings together sculpture, painting, and graphic art in an atmosphere shaped by both history and openness. Within this dialogue between nature, architecture, and memory, Ways to Traverse a Territory unfolds as a quiet and poetic work of cinematic reflection.

Filmmaker Gabriela Domínguez-Ruvalcaba returns to a moss-covered mountain village in southern Mexico, a place deeply tied to her personal story. There, an Indigenous Tzotzil family lives in close relationship with the land, guided by the rhythms of nature and the traditions of shepherding. Triggered by an old photograph, the filmmaker embarks on a journey through memory, belonging, and transformation.

Through a layered combination of archival imagery, intimate conversations, and personal reflection, Ways to Traverse a Territory explores the deep bond between people and place. It is a tender and thoughtful meditation on rootedness, cultural memory, and the delicate interplay between past and present.
