Francis Dosoo: The Lives of Dorothy Gale

Dates: Sat 16 May 11:00 - Sun 2 Aug 2026 18:00

Francis Dosoo will fill DCA’s gallery 1 with a new installation work which uses the 1978 film The Wiz, a reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, as a point of departure to explore the way we look at historic moving images. Imagining the film's individual images as points within a constellation of ‘memory-objects', The Lives of Dorothy Gale stretches and erodes their edges, leading the viewer's eye to linger on the vast and silent spaces that lie between them.
