Creative Agitation
American guerrilla gardener turned feral filmmaker, Erin Wilkerson, is the co-founder of the political art collective, Creative Agitation along with her partner, Travis Wilkerson. They have exhibited in the Venice Biennale, Locarno Film Festival, the Viennale, and the Berlinale, and their film, Nuclear Family (2021) was awarded Mención Especial at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival, and is distributed by Arsenal (Berlin). Grounded in ecology thanks to her early professional work in landscape architecture, her solo practice is rooted in the exploration of global narratives. Her international exhibitions include, The Second Burial (2023), which premiere at DOKUFEST and streamed on MUBI. She has also exhibited at Prismatic Ground (New York), FICUNAM (Mexico), Arica Docs (Chile), and INTERSECCION (Spain). She works in feral filmmaking, based on the guerrilla tactics of Third Cinema and as resistance to the Hollywood model. A methodology she developed as part of her PhD work, "Invasive Species," for Liverpool John Moores University. She is currently a Lecturer in film/art research and practice at Duke Kunshan University.
