Bomb Magazine Interviews Artist and Filmmaker Tiffany Sia ’10 about Her New Book, On and Off-Screen Imaginaries

Bard alumna Tiffany Sia ’10 thinks and works across text and film. Her newest book, On and Off-Screen Imaginaries, is a collection of six essays that grapple with the complexities of post-colonial experience. The first three essays focus on new Hong Kong cinema and examine the national security policies, censorship, surveillance that followed Hong Kong’s mass protests in 2019 and 2020. The second half of the book “abruptly drifts toward other geographies,” says Sia.

Samson was performed as an updated production with pieces drawn from other Rameau works to replace the original score, which was lost some 250 years ago, at the Aix-en-Provence festival.
