A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.

5 days of film, music, discussion and study of our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the colonial ordering of how we come to know the world—practicing how we might exist otherwise, right here and now. Can we start to know and practice the world to come?
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
Music is full of refracted brass and wind tones, distorted tape loops, dead silent air and the occasional piercing shard of sound.
A space to reflect on our own experiences with the police and explore more community and care-based ways of dealing with violence and difficulties in our lives.
