Half of the Sky is the first collectively realized film by The Golden Pixel Cooperative. In this work, the cooperative revisit the kite festivals organised by the Weimar Bauhaus in the 1920s, processions featuring kites designed as artworks and flying objects. In this homage to the under-appreciated female Bauhaus artists, The Golden Pixel Cooperative expresses its own version of the connection between art and life, a vision advocated by the Bauhaus. The kites are dedicated to queer-feminist role models: philosophers, activists, authors and artists. They emerged from a dialogical process between the artists of the cooperative and associated collaborators from various fields. The project offers a reflection on feminist role models and emancipatory practices.
