ifd's Community Conversation: Featured Guest Genevieve Anderson from WUNZ Apparel
Genevieve Anderson is a Rockefeller Media Artist Grant recipient and an Annenberg Fellow, and earned her MA from the USC School of Cinematic Arts. She produced the work of video artist Bill Viola for 15 years incl. Biennale Venice, St. Paul Cathedral, London, The Deutsche Guggenheim, The Hamad International Airport, Qatar, among many others. Genevieve’s short films with puppets have had international exposure and success over the past 20 years, winning awards in Berlin, Seattle, Toronto, and distributed by ARTE and IFP. In 2017, AZ Public Media’s short doc on Genevieve’s work, Forming the Formless, was nominated for an Emmy. Her first live action feature, DUSTWUN, which she wrote and directed while living next to the US/Mexico border in So Arizona, has worldwide distribution with House of Film and can been viewed on Prime. She is the Founder of WUNZ, Apparel in Action, a social enterprise partnered with the Los Angeles Mission helping women coming through homelessness.
WUNZ believes in the power of community and the power of business to make impactful change. We are on a mission to build a brand that supports and advances women who have been historically marginalized through our giveback and mentorship program with the Los Angeles Mission. The Supersuit, and our colorful logo, are tools to communicate that women are claiming their power and supporting other women to do the same. The Supersuit has empowered us to wear on the outside the power we feel and want to express on the inside - the power to make change. We hope it inspires you as well.
