ARTIST’S TALK with KIRSTEN LEENAARS
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25
12:00 pm (PDT)
All ages, FREE
Join us on Zoom for a virtual screening of Kirsten Leenaars’ work (Re)Housing the American Dream: Freedom Principles (2018) followed by an artist’s talk, “(Re)Housing the American Dream and the Politics of Imagination.”
Who gets to imagine what? The act of imagining itself is not a fair, objective, or equitable thing. So what happens when you follow the same group of twenty-two American born and refugee youth over a period of years and ask them collectively to imagine different future scenarios, reframe-histories, and contextualize their own lived experiences and truth? Kirsten Leenaars’ (Re)Housing the American Dream: Freedom Principles is part of an ongoing community-based performative documentary project, set in the city of Milwaukee, that explores the role of film as political action, and examines the politics of imagination through the act of collective making.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 26

Jessica Karuhanga is a Canadian Ugandan-British artist whose work addresses issues of cultural politics of identity and Black Diasporic concerns through lens-based technologies, writing, drawing and performances.

ARTIST’S TALK with MARINA ROY
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29
7:00 pm (PDT)
All ages, FREE
Join us on Zoom for an artist’s talk with Marina Roy to learn more about her cross-disciplinary art practice and ongoing investigations into the intersection between materials, history, language, and ideology. Roy states, “[t]he work addresses the need for a posthuman/nonhuman perspective, counter to the reigning tendencies toward human centric hubris. Humour is explored through a corporeal register: humans’ underlying animality and mortality, as well as the absurdity of humanist moral positions vis‑à ‑vis life on this planet.”
ARTIST’S TALK with SHIRLEY BRUNO
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30
4:00 PM (PDT)
All ages, FREE
Join us on Zoom for a virtual screening of Shirley Bruno’s work An Excavation of Us (Le Déterrement de Nous), 2017, followed by an artist’s talk.
Shirley Bruno's artistic practice seeks to radicalize ancestral narratives and (re)create modern myths that expose the impermanence between the material and spiritual, documentary and fiction, collective memory and history. Investigating the everyday, the sacred, and the intimate violence in the things left unsaid which mark us, her films take their point of departure from neglected histories as well as from rumors, dreams, superstitious beliefs, oral histories, and memories both real and imagined.
