Squeaky Wheel presents a conversation with artists Cameron A. Granger and Christina Corfield, moderated by Ekrem Serdar. The two artists will speak to their projects – Just Below Heaven (2025) and Pony Players Review (2020–present), respectively – as part of our current exhibition, With us at the center of our world: Animals, domestications, dreams, and answer questions from the audience. The exhibition presents the work of nine artists thinking through and on non-human animals. The artists – working in animation, essay films, speculative narratives, installation work, amog other forms – address topics of domestication, colonialism, extinction, and conservation, and the toll humans extract from our co-inhabitants on earth. The exhibition features work by Amy Ching-Yan Lam, Annika Eriksson, Cameron A. Granger, Christina Corfield, Deniz Tortum & Sister Sylvester, G. Anthony Svatek, Miranda Javid, and Noor Abuarafeh.
