Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface is a multi screen installation born of an intent to reveal the material substance of cinema in its purest form: spatially.
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.

Umeda is a Japanese artist who is as fascinated in setting up interesting situations to observe, as he is in creating performances.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
A speculative narrative film informed by poetry and theories of quantum entanglement across diasporic distance. An intimate exploration of grief and resistance in shifting landscapes of loss, from the streets to the bed.
