Join artist resident Ajunie Virk for a workshop that teaches participants how to create experimental audio by drawing directly onto the optical soundtrack of 16mm film, a technique the artists uses herself to personalize sound and generate abstract audio layers within her own video works.

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.

This workshop by visiting filmmaker Jason Rhee equips filmmakers, media artists, and researchers with practical strategies to build, negotiate, and sustain trust with participants—especially those from marginalized or vulnerable communities.
