Embedded South(s) is an online moving-image exhibition examining particular cultural phenomena, within the complex social geographies of those who identify with a "south." Screened across three continents from November 3–6, 2016, with unique thematic each night, this program showcases the work of 29 artists from South Asia, South East Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

By "south" we understand this to be a geo-political terminology that labels a particular "tropic," often economically considered "developing" and culturally suffering the trauma of coloniality. However, we also understand this "south" to be a mobile entity in its diaspora, with many "souths" now in transference within the global flows of migration (forced, voluntary, political, or economic).
