SUMMARY:Hale County This Morning\, This Evening
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, July 17\, 7pm\n$7 General / $5 Members / Free for ArtsAccess pass holders \nNominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2019\, Hale County This Morning\, This Evening is composed of intimate and unencumbered moments of people in a community\, allowing the viewer an emotive impression of the Historic South. A visually stunning film which trumpets the beauty of life and consequences of the social construction of race\, it is a testament to dreaming – despite the odds.\n \nHow does one express the reality of individuals whose public image\, lives\, and humanity originate in exploitation? Photographer and filmmaker RaMell Ross employs the integrity of nonfiction filmmaking and the currency of stereotypical imagery to fill in the gaps between individual black male icons. Hale County This Morning\, This Evening is a lyrical innovation to the form of portraiture that boldly ruptures racist aesthetic frameworks that have historically constricted the expression of African American men on film. \nIn the lives of protagonists Daniel and Quincy\, quotidian moments and the surrounding southern landscape are given importance\, drawing poetic comparisons between historical symbols and the African American banal. Images are woven together to replace narrative arc with visual movements. As Ross crafts an inspired tapestry made up of time\, the human soul\, history\, environmental wonder\, sociology\, and cosmic phenomena\, a new aesthetic framework emerges that offers a new way of seeing and experiencing the heat\, and the hearts of people in the Black Belt region of the U.S. as well far beyond. \n\nThis screening is part of our summer film series\, Three Storms for Summer Eves. These three dreamy films to provide moments to restore\, heal\, and gather strength for the months ahead. Taking place on Wednesday evenings\, we invite audiences to leave work\, join us to find relief in the dark\, and to exit and see the night anew. Feel free to bring pillows. Co-presented with Cultivate Cinema Circle. \nJune 19: Blissfully Yours \nJuly 17: Hale County This Morning\, This Evening \nAugust 14: Endless Dreams and Water Between \nCultivate Cinema Circle is an emerging screening series that aims to help foster a healthy\, fervent film culture in the Buffalo area.

SUMMARY:RUIN'D
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: July 12th\, 2019\, 5 pm – 8 pm\nArtist Talk: 6:30 pm\nOn view through August 10th\, 2019\, Tue-Sat\, 12–5 pm\nFree and open to the public \nSystems. In our society today everything we know\, learn\, and use is controlled by some sort of system. The internet\, school\, and our jobs are determined by arbitrary systems that most of us barely understand. Ask yourself\, do you know why schools teach what they teach\, why you get ads for things you don’t know about on the internet\, and why for some does it take ages to find a job. In this exhibition\, six young media artists are exploring these failed systems to expose our attachment to their assumed order. \nThrough video and media installations\, young media artists from Squeaky Wheel’s core community-based programs West Side Studios\, Buffalo Youth Media Institute\, and Tech Art for Girls delve into system failures and the way they perceive them. The works feature a range of societal issues from active shooter drills in school\, to corporate morality\, from the failure of language to the genocide of Darfuri people in Sudan. The works aim to lead viewers into a space of questioning the authority of the status quo and leave a trace of consciousness that allows us all to think of our part in these questionable systems. \n– Zaire Goodman\, Saturday Cafe member\, and Buffalo Youth Media Institute student. \nJoin us at Squeaky Wheel on Friday\, July 12th at 5 pm for the opening reception of the exhibition and a conversation with our Saturday Cafe Members at 6:30 pm. Snacks provided thanks to Wegmans! \nThe Saturday Cafe \nThis exhibition features the work of Saturday Cafe Members; Breanna Roberts\, Dominique Scruggs\, Jolie Criscione\, Matt Dearmyer\, Raymarri Hugh\, and Zaire Goodman. Saturday Cafe is an advanced track experimental youth media education project that provides students with challenging and engaging professional development and learning opportunities. This collaborative educational experience is student lead and co-created with the program’s primary media mentors. Together they create\, work\, experiment with presentations\, and develop new strategies to engage their surrounding communities with media arts that carry their voice and reflect their world. \nSqueaky Wheel Educational Programming is made possible in part by the generous support of Adobe’s TakingITGlobal Equity and Access\, M&T Charitable Foundation\, First Niagara Foundation\, Josephine Goodyear Foundation\, Cameron & Jane Baird Foundation\, Children’s Foundation of Erie County\, Marks Family Foundation\, Margaret L. Wendt Foundation\, Best Buy Foundation\, Erie County Cultural Funding\, City of Buffalo\, National Endowment for the Arts\, and New York State Council on the Arts. \nBanner Animation: Breanna Roberts

SUMMARY:Blissfully Yours
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 19\, 7pm\n$7 General / $5 Members / Free for ArtsAccess pass holders \nThe feature debut of Thai director Apichatpong Weeserakathul\, Blissfully Yours (2002) is an enigmatic\, surprising film that charts a road trip and picnic in a jungle between three people –a Burmese national working in Thailand without documentation\, his girlfriend\, and an older woman. Gestures\, glances\, and a lush landscape  releasing emotions\, superstitions\, and eroticism. This is a transformative summer movie of pop music and naps\, sex and sun through leaves\, and launched the director to international acclaim. \nOne of the best entries at Cannes…with its languid pacing and poetic sense of quiet and gesture\, Blissfully Yours would eventually uncover a world of hope\, possibility and bliss at the crossroads of human connection and aesthetic achievement. – Manohla Dargis (LA Weekly) \n\nThis screening is part of our summer film series\, Three Storms for Summer Eves. These three dreamy films to provide moments to restore\, heal\, and gather strength for the months ahead. Taking place on Wednesday evenings\, we invite audiences to leave work\, join us to find relief in the dark\, and to exit and see the night anew. Feel free to bring pillows. Co-presented with Cultivate Cinema Circle. \nJune 19: Blissfully Yours \nJuly 12: Hale County This Morning\, This Evening \nAugust 14: Endless Dreams and Water Between \nCultivate Cinema Circle is an emerging screening series that aims to help foster a healthy\, fervent film culture in the Buffalo area.

SUMMARY:Hands as Far as the Eye Can See
DESCRIPTION:April 5th \n7:30pm \nAlbright Knox Art Gallery \nFREE & Open to the Public \nJoin us at the Albright Knox Art Gallery during their ‘First Fridays’ for a screening of student works made in response to artist Htein Lin’s exhibition “A Show of Hands”. This multi-youth program project explores the work of Artist Htein Lin as a jumping off point to create multi-media works that look at the role of hands and the stories of people. Squeaky Wheel’s two flagship media arts programs\, West Side Studio\, and Buffalo Youth Media Institute produced individual works that circle around the image and performance of the hand as a common visual connection between all the works. The pieces will explore everything from personal stories\, food traditions\, and even include poems from Just Buffalo’s Writing Center’s young writers. This screening will be a series of vignettes that relate and react to the work of Htein Lin as well as highlight the depth and talent of media arts in Buffalo young makers. \nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A with the young filmmakers. \nInformation about Htein Lin’s exhibition can be found here.  \n \nWest Side Studios \nLead Teaching Artist – Jesse Deganis-Librera \nTeaching Assistants – Raymari Hughs & Bhakti Williams-Brown \n  \nBuffalo Youth Media Institute  \nTeaching Artists – Lewgua Benson & Kevin Kline \n  \nJust Buffalo Writing Center \nLead Teaching Artist – Robin Jordan \n  \n\nThere is a free shuttle running from the West Side of Buffalo to the Albright Knox at various Locations throughout the day.

SUMMARY:Worldline ⃝ Timeline
DESCRIPTION:With filmmaker Bryan Oliver Green in-person\, and a live Skype performance by Dana McKnight\nFriday\, April 5\, 7pm\n$7 General / $5 Members / Free for ArtsAccess Pass holders\n***A limited amount of free tickets for this screening will be set aside for members of the Black and indigenous community. Click here to claim your ticket.***\n \nSqueaky Wheel presents an evening of films and performances that form a constellation of times and spaces outside of colonial thought. The screening features a live science-fiction Skype performance by artist Dana McKnight; Bryan Oliver Green’s Recurrence Plot: The Family Circle (2018)\, adapted from a short story by Black Quantum Futurism’s Rasheedah Phillips; Amanda Strong’s Mia’ (2015)\, a supernatural stop-motion film of a young Indigenous female street artist who finds ways to root herself within her ancestry; and concluding with John Akomfrah’s essential 1996 film\, The Last Angel of History\, which examines the relationships between Pan-African culture\, science fiction\, intergalactic travel\, and rapidly progressing computer technology. Join us for a special evening traveling through space and time\, with visiting filmmaker Bryan Oliver Green in person. \nThis event is presented as part of the public programming accompanying Black Quantum Futurism: ON THE EDGE OF THE BUSH / A LONG WALK INTO THE UNKNOWN\, on view at Squeaky Wheel\, Jan 25–April 20\, 2019. Special thanks to Vtape and Icarus Films. \nProgram \n\nMia’ (Salmon)\nAmanda Strong\n8 min\, digital\, sound\, 2015\nA young Indigenous female street artist named Mia’ walks through the city streets painting scenes rooted in the supernatural history of her people. Lacking cultural resources and familial connection within the city\, she paints these images from intuition and blood memory. She has not heard the stories from her Elders lips\, but has found her own methods to re-discover them. The alleyways become her sanctuary and secret gallery\, and her art comes to life. Mia’ is pulled into her own transformation via the vessel of a salmon. In the struggle to return home\, she traverses through polluted waters and skies\, witnessing various forms of industrial violence and imprint that have occurred upon the land. \nMia’ is a hybrid documentary using animation and sound as a vehicle to tell the story of transformation and re-connection. Indigenous people in Canada experienced displacement once commercial trade turned into settlement. Today the urban population of Native people now outnumbers those living on-reserve. Many struggle being disconnected from their land\, rites\, and protocol. This film is not an adaptation or a re-telling of a traditional story but is based in the circular time of\, and passage of\, oral history. Mia’ challenges the notions and format of conventional documentaries and presents Indigenous oral traditions as truth and not myth or legend. (Description courtesy of Vtape.) \n\nRecurrence Plot: The Family Circle\nBryan Oliver Green\, adapted from a short story by Rasheedah Phillips\n16 min\, digital\, sound\, 2018\nA crystal\, memory-storing bracelet transports a young mother back to the day of her own mother’s traumatic death and challenges the notion that time flows in only one direction… \nUntitled live skype performance\nDana McKnight\n~10 min\, 2019 \n\nThe Last Angel of History\nJohn Akomfrah\n45 min\, digital\, sound\, 1996 \nJohn Akomfrah\, director of Seven Songs of Malcolm X\, returns with an engaging and searing examination of the hitherto unexplored relationships between Pan-African culture\, science fiction\, intergalactic travel\, and rapidly progressing computer technology. \nThis cinematic essay posits science fiction (with tropes such as alien abduction\, estrangement\, and genetic engineering) as a metaphor for the Pan-African experience of forced displacement\, cultural alienation\, and otherness. \nAkomfrah’s analysis is rooted in an exploration of the cultural works of Pan-African artists\, such as funkmaster George Clinton and his Mothership Connection\, Sun Ra’s use of extraterrestrial iconography\, and the very explicit connection drawn between these issues in the writings of black science fiction authors Samuel R. Delaney and Octavia Butler. \nIncluded are interviews with black cultural figures\, from musicians DJ Spooky\, Goldie\, and Derek May\, who discuss the importance of George Clinton to their own music\, to George Clinton himself. Astronaut Dr. Bernard A. Harris Jr. describes his experiences as one of the first African-Americans in space\, while Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols tells of her campaign for a greater role for African-Americans in NASA. Novelist Ismael Reed and cultural critics Greg Tate and Kodwo Eshun tease out the parallels between black life and science fiction\, while Delaney and Butler discuss the motivations behind their choice of the genre to express ideas about the black experience. \nIn keeping with the futuristic tenor of the film\, the interviews are intercut with images of Pan-African life from different periods of history\, jumping between time and space from the past to the future to the present\, not unlike the mode of many rock videos or surfing the Internet. \nBanner image: John Akomfrah\, The Last Angel of History\,1996.

SUMMARY:Futurism Now: Limitless Hope through Speculative Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Futurism Now: Limitless Hope through Speculative Fiction\nBlack Magnolias x Black Quantum Futurism\nSaturday\, February 9\, 2019\, 2–5pm\nFree and open to the public\n \nWhat if your future dreams for society became the dominant narrative for hope in the present? How do we imagine a more liberated future for ourselves? This discussion group and creative workshop led by Black Magnolias will use speculative fiction–Afrofuturism\, science fiction and fantasy–as a tool to create new worlds of hope and change. Participants will be engaged in using ideas of limitless technology\, fantasy\, and science to rewrite the world and walk away with a sci-fi story that replaces negative narratives with possibility and power. \nResponding to a newly commissioned essay by Rasheedah Phillips written for the exhibition by Black Quantum Futurism\, this three hour workshop will be accompanied by presentations\, short films\, and free coffee. Pens and writing materials will be provided. \nInitiated by Marielle Smith and Richmond Wills\, Black Magnolias was created as a creative space to share\, build and develop a strong community of writers of color. This transient workshop series responds to a need for space for Black & Brown\, Queer and LGBT+ writers of all platforms and extend the invitation to those that belong to this community. This event is open to participants ages 14 and up. \nMarielle Smtih is a Buffalo native and mother of two\, who enjoys writing and performing poetry\, essays\, and folklore that are reflective of her life experience and ancestry as a queer Black person. Marielle has been organizing with Just Resisting since 2016\, a people of color community organization that focuses on social justice. She believes one of the greatest acts of resistance is finding healing through artistic expression. She currently co- facilitates Black Magnolias\, a Black and people of color creative writing workshop with Richie Willis. \nRichmond Wills (He/Him) is a poet\, storyteller and cultural organizer currently based in Buffalo New York. He co-founded Black Magnolias\, an ongoing creative workshop series targeting black/brown inner-city populations. He also coordinated outreach for Words on the Street\, an initiative to make literary arts more accessible to disenfranchised communities. From being a social justice activist with Black Love Resist in the Rust\, a not for profit grassroots organization currently involved in a lawsuit against the city of Buffalo over illegal checkpoints to being a sexual health advocate and tour de force for youth who identify as LGBT+\, Richmond hopes to mobilize and grow with Black & Brown communities to work towards collective solidarity and liberation. \nThis event is presented as part of the public programming accompanying Black Quantum Futurism: ON THE EDGE OF THE BUSH / A LONG WALK INTO THE UNKNOWN\, on view at Squeaky Wheel\, Jan 25–April 20\, 2019. \nBanner image by Richmond Wills.
