Elizabeth A. Povinelli and Thomas Bartlett, The Inheritance, 2021. View at Hotel Ladinia, Ortisei, Biennale Gherdëina ∞. Ph. Tiberio Sorvillo
In Geography Lessons and The Inheritance, anthropologist and Karrabing Film Collective member Elizabeth A. Povinelli explores the complex bonds that connect people and territories across her homelands and family ties of Carisolo, in Trentino, and the Karrabing Aboriginal Areas in Darwin, in Australia’s Northern Territory. Geography Lessons is a complex family map that brings together her own family lines and the geopolitical history of the territory around Carisolo. The Inheritance is a three-act video montage essay on inheritance as an accumulation of racial and settler dispossessions. Seeking to intervene in what she has called the current white counter-reformation of white nativism. The Inheritance pivots the ideas and affects of history, inheritance, and social identity against the sedimentations of white supremacy and settler colonialism through a retelling of the immigration stories told to the young Elizabeth Povinelli by her grandparents.
