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.

SUMMARY:Meet the Residents: Ajunie Virk\, Arielle Knight\, Jason Rhee
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 17\, 7 pm ET\nIn-person at Squeaky Wheel and online\nFree or suggested donation; get tickets below\nSqueaky Wheel is pleased to present this hybrid artist talk with our Spring 2026 Workspace Residents! Ajunie Virk\, Arielle Knight\, and Jason Rhee will be presenting on their previous and current projects\, along with a Q&A with the residents moderated by curator Ekrem Serdar. \nFor in-person attendees: The event will take place at Squeaky Wheel. Please note that you cannot enter Tri-Main Center after 7:30 pm. Catering from Ali Baba Kebab\, with vegetarian options\, will be provided. \nFor online attendees: A private link will be sent to you; the event will be available at the link at the start date and time. You will have access to the event for 24 hours; Squeaky Wheel members receive 72 hour access. Not a member yet? Sign up here. \nAccessibility: If you’d like to request ASL interpretation for either in-person or the online viewing\, please contact ekrem@squeaky.org by April 2. You can view additional information on Squeaky Wheel’s accessibility information here. \nAjunie Virk will be working on A Foot Off the Windowsill\, a feature length experimental film which follows a recovering addict whose fragile first relationship and year of sobriety collide as she scours her house to destroy a shadow she judges to be a cockroach. The roach—an insect often seen as toxic\, despite its essential role in ecosystems to break down remnants and waste—enters the character’s pristine home\, disrupting their curated world and forcing a reckoning with societal expectation\, relinquishment\, and authenticity. The film blends the use of  3D animation\, green screen performance\, and motion capture to highlight the inconsistencies in the personas we build to dodge the shame inherent in pursuing perfection. \nArielle Knight will be working on an installation version of And Counting… a hybrid documentary and fiction film that conveys the fractured experience of “carceral time”. The film follows a mother and her formerly incarcerated son’s journey home\, confronting their wounds and their hopes to rebuild their bond. Knight’s approach draws on the power of hybridity not as artifice\, but as a means of approaching reality more truthfully. During the residency\, the filmmaker will repurpose and recontextualize materials that did not make it into the short film—outtakes\, archival footage\, and experimental sound pieces—integrating them into an immersive multi-channel environment. \nFilmmaker Jason Lee will be working on The Untitled EJ Lee Documentary\, an intimate feature-length film  that goes beyond basketball to unveil the untold story of Eun Jung “EJ” Lee\, a diminutive but powerful figure in the world of women’s basketball. The film tells a basketball story that’s never been told before: a female Asian immigrant in the southern U.S. who reached enormous heights on the biggest stages as a player and attempts to do the same as a coach. Following sports narratives  such as Last Chance U\, The Heart of The Game\, and Hoop Dreams\, the film showcases intimate verité footage of EJ and the players on and off the court\, the societal issues that they faced\, and the historical journey of EJ becoming one of the best basketball players in the world. In a society that tends to worship male sports icons\, The Untitled EJ Lee Documentary  seeks to inspire young women\, girls\, members of the AAPI community\, older adults\, and sports enthusiasts at large\, ushering a resilient and awe-inspiring woman into the pantheon of American sports heroes. \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.
