Venezuela from Below

Sinopse

The exhibition catalogue for the Venezuela From Below exhibition at the TheCube Project Space, Taipei, between 31 Mar-29 Apr 2012, which presented the Bolivian Process through the views of grass-roots Venezuelans. The three documentaries by Oliver Ressler and Dario Azzellini shown in the exhibition interviewed and recorded those who found hope thanks to the "Bolivian Revolution". Through their own testimony, the films meticulously portray how the development of a democratic socialism, participatory democracy and autonomy of workers that emerged over the past decade have changed the Venezuelan's envisioning of politics and the social structure. The three documentaries shown were Venezuela from Below (2004), 5 Factories - Worker Control in Venezuela (2006) and Comuna under Construction (2010).
