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.

Currently living in New York and working between France and Haiti, Shirley Bruno completed her Masters of Fine Arts at Le Fresnoy - Studio National des arts Contemporains where she was an artist-fellow. Her work has been included in exhibitions at Hammer Museum, MoMA P.S.1, Montréal arts interculturels, Villa Médici Rome, Palais de Tokyo, Maison Européenne de la Photographie as well as presented at international festivals such as Berlinale and Locarno International Film Festival.
