SUMMARY:Autotheory and the Poetics of the Self: Storying the Personal with Arielle Knight
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 16\, 6:30–8:30 pm\nFree or $10 suggested donation; open to ages 16+.\nLimited seats available; register below\nJoin Squeaky Wheel and visiting artist resident Arielle Knight for a short form writing workshop! This skill share invites participants to experiment with autobiographical storytelling and the practice of autotheory—the blending of lived experience and critical thought—to create new forms of narrative that collapse the boundaries between personal and intellectual inquiry. Drawing from practices in experimental film\, performance\, and essay-making\, this session will guide participants in transforming fragments of memory\, personal archives\, and embodied experiences into generative creative material. \nParticipants will engage in short writing and reflection exercises that explore how personal narrative can serve as both evidence and theory\, as well as how storytelling becomes a method for survival\, healing\, and critique. Examples of artists and thinkers who employ autotheory to reframe vulnerability as a tool for intervention will be presented\, including excerpts from texts by bell hooks\, Audre Lorde\, and Maggie Nelson. \nThrough group discussion and individual exercises\, participants will learn strategies for translating autobiographical material into multiple media forms—moving image\, sound\, installation\, and text—and discuss the ethics of working with one’s own story and the stories of others. By the end of the workshop\, each participant will have developed a short creative concept or fragment that reflects their own approach to merging self-experience and theory in creative practice. \nThe filmmakers presents this skill-share as an offering; centering on creating a supportive and exploratory environment\, where storytelling becomes a form of research and resistance\, allowing each participant to reimagine how the personal can illuminate the collective and the political. \nAttendees: Notebooks and pens for the workshop will be provided\, though participants are welcome to bring their own. We’ll be ordering a pizza for everyone. Please note that you cannot enter Tri-Main center after 7:30 pm. \nFunding for this session of Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency is provided by the Teiger Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Thank you to our friends at Rust Belt Books\, Buffalo’s largest used bookstore\, for sponsoring this session of the residency. Special thank you to the panelists of this session of the residency\, Alicia Hawkins\, Donte McFadden\, and Joan Nobile. Learn more about the program here. \nBiography of the artist\n \nDirector and producer Arielle Knight is an award-winning filmmaker and founder of GoodKnight Films Inc.\, acclaimed for her innovative storytelling that illuminates untold narratives across the Black diaspora. Working at the intersection of documentary and hybrid forms\, her films and collaborations examine how communities navigate social\, economic\, and embodied precarity. She draws on surreal interpretations of political\, social\, and domestic realities\, blurring boundaries between nonfiction and fantasy to create cinematic spaces of escape and freedom. Her work has been supported by the Sundance Institute\, Southern Documentary Fund\, Catapult Film Fund\, and the Ford Foundation\, among others. Through intimate\, personal narratives\, Knight continues to expand the possibilities of contemporary cinema with a vision rooted in Black futurity\, imagination\, and experimentation. \nImage: A still from And Counting\, a film by Arielle Knight.

The sun beams on them from a window.

SUMMARY:Postponed: Place & Process: Video Experiments with Jodi Lynn Maracle
DESCRIPTION:This class has been postponed.\nIf you are interested in receiving email updates about the new dates\, please contact caroline@squeaky.org\n\nSaturdays\, May 24 & 31\n12-4pm\n$175 (10% discount for members. Scholarships may be available – email caroline@squeaky.org for info) \n  \nIn this two session\, process-focused workshop\, participants will meet with artist and educator Jodi Lynn Maracle\, Tyendinaga Mohawk and Polish/Irish settler descent\, to produce a short film based on relationship to place. We will develop a practice of connecting with specific places while recording video and audio\, helping us to stay physically and mentally present. We’ll utilize all of our senses – from sight\, to sound\, to touch\, to smell – and we are just as interested in the process and experience of physically being in a specific location as we are in the final product. \nFor the first class\, on Saturday May 24\, we will meet briefly at Squeaky Wheel\, where Jodi will share their work and give insight into their art practice. Then we will travel together to Woodlawn Beach\, where we will consciously engage with the site\, recording video and audio with personal smartphones and digital cameras. Participants are encouraged to bring any recording equipment they have as well as notebooks\, writing utensils and weather appropriate clothing. \nDuring the week between classes\, participants are encouraged to apply what they learn with Jodi to a place that is personal to them\, in order to gather additional footage and audio. \nThe second session\, on May 31\, will be held at Squeaky Wheel\, where we will begin reviewing and editing the footage gathered during our time at Woodlawn on the first day\, as well as additional materials gathered independently. \nTogether we will consider:\nWhat does it mean to slow down and become fully present in a specific place?\nHow does this translate to an audio and video based practice?\nWhat do we experience in our bodies in specific locations that can inform both our practice and our product?\nHow can we deepen our relationship with place through a process of slow and thoughtful observation – observation of specific sites and observation of ourselves? \n  \nClass limited to 8 students. No video editing experience is required\, but participants should be open to experimentation\, comfortable using smartphone cameras\, and confident using a computer. Squeaky Wheel’s classroom is outfitted with Mac desktop computers. \n  \nQuestions? email caroline@squeaky.org or call 716-884-7172 \n  \nInstructor bio: \n \nJodi Lynn Maracle is a Kanien’keha:ka/settler artist\, language teacher\, parent and hide tanner. Born and raised in what is currently considered Buffalo\, NY\, their work is influenced as much by an upbringing in Western New York as it is by Kanien’keha:ka culture\, language and material objects. Jodi’s work centers reclamation of space and memory in the face of settler-colonial occupation through contemporary representations of Indigenous cultural legacies and lived realities. Jodi blends traditional Haudenosaunee skills\, symbols\, forms\, and language with modern forms of making to articulate historical and contemporary relationships to place\, land\, and community.

SUMMARY:Interactive Video: Intro to Touchdesigner
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays and Thursdays\, 6:00 – 8:00 pm\nMay 20-29 (4 classes\, 8 hours of instruction)\n$175 (10% discount for members. Not yet a member? Click here for details)\nopen to ages 16+\nRegister with the “tickets” button at the bottom of this page\n  \n \n  \nIn this hands-on digital video workshop\, we’ll explore how to recreate psychedelic video effects inspired by the experimental video artists of the 60s and 70s. Using the free version of TouchDesigner\, you’ll learn how to manipulate video in real time\, creating dynamic and abstract visuals. This workshop doesn’t require any previous coding experience—just a curious mind and a willingness to play.  \nSqueaky Wheel’s classroom is outfitted with Mac computers. If would like to bring your own laptop\, please download and install Touchdesigner before class. You can find it at this link. \nClass limited to 8 participants. \nContact Caroline at caroline@squeaky.org or (716) 884-7172 with any questions! \nInstructors: Jason Geistweidt and James Pardue \n  \nJASON E GEISTWEIDT is an intermedia artist working at the nexus of music technology\, physical computing\, creative coding\, networked systems\, digital fabrication\, interactive installation\, and performance. Grounding his research is the use of purpose-built tools and systems for generating media via procedural\, yet aleatoric or otherwise chance methodologies. Conceptually his work plays with ideas of control\, intention\, and expectation within the creative process. His approach is experimental\, interconnecting disparate systems in a desire to make the intangible — data\, networks\, computation\, and the like — tangible through their transduction into objects\, events\, and experiences. \nJAMES PARDUE is an experimental multimedia artist and researcher based in Buffalo\, NY. His work incorporates old and emerging forms of electronic media\, such as video and audio synthesis\, physical computing\, and generative imagery in real-time multimedia performances and installations. Through his work\, he experiments with interaction between generated electronic phenomena and the tangible world\, with the intent to reimagine a more democratic relationship with media. Pardue’s research delves into alternative media histories\, such as experimental television and variances in computation\, to advocate for resistance against technological determinism. Currently\, he is an MFA candidate in the Department of Media Study at SUNY Buffalo.

SUMMARY:Video Instruments: Build an Analog Video Synthesizer
DESCRIPTION:Saturday May 10\n12pm-5pm (1 class\, 5 hours of instruction)\n$125 (10% discount for members. Not yet a member? Click here for details)\nopen to ages 16+\nRegister with the “tickets” button at the bottom of this page\n \nIn this hand-on circuit building workshop\, participants will build cyberboy666’s _rupture_ circuit for glitching analog video signals in real time. Based upon video artist Karl Klomp’s design\, the circuit is intended for live performance and exploratory play. Media artists Jason Geistweidt and James Pardue guide you through the build process\, from soldering circuitry to processing signals\, revealing the materiality of the analog video world. In addition to the experience of building analog circuitry\, the workshop provides a technical introduction to analog video and showcases the practices of influential video artists. All tools and components to build the circuit will be supplied.  Analog playback/projection media will be provided to play with the capabilities of your new video instrument.  \nAll tools and materials provided. Class limited to 10 participants.  \n***This class will meet in the Department of Media Study at UB. Arrival instructions will be shared after registration.*** \nContact Caroline at caroline@squeaky.org or (716) 884-7172 with any questions! \n  \nInstructors: Jason Geistweidt and James Pardue \nJASON E GEISTWEIDT is an intermedia artist working at the nexus of music technology\, physical computing\, creative coding\, networked systems\, digital fabrication\, interactive installation\, and performance. Grounding his research is the use of purpose-built tools and systems for generating media via procedural\, yet aleatoric or otherwise chance methodologies. Conceptually his work plays with ideas of control\, intention\, and expectation within the creative process. His approach is experimental\, interconnecting disparate systems in a desire to make the intangible — data\, networks\, computation\, and the like — tangible through their transduction into objects\, events\, and experiences. \nJAMES PARDUE is an experimental multimedia artist and researcher based in Buffalo\, NY. His work incorporates old and emerging forms of electronic media\, such as video and audio synthesis\, physical computing\, and generative imagery in real-time multimedia performances and installations. Through his work\, he experiments with interaction between generated electronic phenomena and the tangible world\, with the intent to reimagine a more democratic relationship with media. Pardue’s research delves into alternative media histories\, such as experimental television and variances in computation\, to advocate for resistance against technological determinism. Currently\, he is an MFA candidate in the Department of Media Study at SUNY Buffalo.
