Feral youth, alienated animals, and masked authorities populate the jittery, acid-colored animations of Victoria Vincent, which map the psychic fallout of life shaped by platforms, protocols, and perpetual crisis. Known online as “vewn,” Vincent has released dozens of short films over more than a decade, honing a singular visual style that is simultaneously handmade and hypermediated. Her characters—doubled, distorted, and often wounded—move through worlds of ambient violence and bureaucratic absurdity, their anxieties amplified by Vincent’s boiling linework and teeming backgrounds. The humor is dark, yet it gives way to fleeting moments of tenderness, solidarity, and connection. For this special evening, Vincent presents a selection of films spanning her body of work, from early internet releases to recent projects like Dirt Girls (2021) and Snooze Quest (2025) and shares insights into her process.
