The Red Dress has travelled internationally since 2006 in Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, India, UK, Denmark, Scotland and Cambodia.\n\nThe resulting collection of images are powerful evocation of gender, place and identity which address human rights issues and our impact on the environment. \n\nWith backdrops of dormant and active volcanoes, landfills, ship breaking yards,  rubble, ashes, city centers, ice, waterfalls, rocks as her stage Manuela transforms everything around with her red dress. \n\nActing as a catalyst to absorb the energy of the landscape, Manuela reclaims public spaces, dancing and responding to the environments with movement often that the camera fails to capture. Her \u2018red\u2019 muslin signifies her passion and the danger our Earth is in with a fragility yet with a strength of what humanity can do if it decides to tune in. \n\nThe red dress forces us to listen with powerful imagery on difficult subjects.","space":"The exhibition can be online, in a virtual space, or in a physical space in the format of an exhibition with images mounted on a board that are 140 cm x 90cm.\n\nThe space can be a conventional gallery, white wall space, but also can be an alternative space without white walls.  \n\nThere film,  \"Close Circuit\"  can be projected onto walls,  not necessarily white, or onto a white screen.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":"closecircuit","video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/311440612","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":"www.thereddressproject.co.uk","cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":10,"names":"Manuela","surname":"Benini","email":"manuelabenini@hotmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"YE121734","address":"48 Sudbourne road","city":"London","nacionality":"Brazilian","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1977-11-18T00:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1977-11-18T00:00:00.000Z","telephone":"0044 7950823210","web":"www.thereddressproject.co.uk"}
