Bookmarks of Discomfortis a series of screenings/presentations to bring together artists, creators who address the idea of discomfort through visual, aural, physical and textual monographs.

Unfortunately, those moments of discomfort are often grounded on the societal hegemonic, both explicit and implied codes of being, behaving, experiencing, understanding, and interpreting.
