The screening\, curated by wave~form~projects and re:assemblage collective\, includes work by Alanis Obomsawin\, Cecilia Vicuña\, Nicolás Grandi and Lata Mani\, Marwa Arsanios\, Rana Nazzal Hamadeh\, and Ryley Williams. This event has taken place in locations across the world\, including in cities such as Cape Town\, Glasgow\, Jakarta\, Oaxaca\, Toronto\, and cities across the U.S; we are excited to present it in Buffalo. \nHow to get to Duende: The event will take place at Duende\, on the second floor. The address is 85 Silo City Row\, Buffalo\, NY 14203. Duende is located at 85 Silo City Row. Turn off of Ohio Street onto Silo City Row\, then drive through the gate into Silo City. You will be driving through an active construction site. Parking is just past the bar. Duende is a 2-story building on the right hand side just past the red caboose train car. Please note that the second floor is only accessible with stairs. \nThe Revive Gaza’s Farmlands Project was initiated by Golo Besmlah in collaboration with Arab Centre for the Protection of Nature. Curated by wave~form~projects and re:assemblage collective. The Buffalo iteration of this program is presented by Squeaky Wheel\, in collaboration with Silo City\, Jewish Voice for Peace – Buffalo\, the Food Systems Planning and Healthy Community Lab at the University at Buffalo (aka UB Food Lab). Special thank you to Dee Hartman\, Noura al Khasawneh\, Samina Raja\, Toleen Touq\, and all our partners. \nAbout the program\nThe event will begin at 7pm. Doors will open at 6pm.

We will have samosas available from Ali Baba Kebab and some bottles of water. The bar of Duende will be open through the event. \n“The films in Seed Songs for Palestine engage themes of seed sovereignty and Indigenous resilience\, highlighting the intrinsic connections between land\, culture\, and self-determination. Delving into the symbolic and practical importance of seeds\, plant life\, and relations with land as forms of resistance and continuity for Indigenous communities\, the films interrogate the dynamics of freedom and survival in the face of environmental and colonial oppression\, while also offering poignant reflections on both the fragility and resilience of existence. Collectively\, they illuminate the vital role of seed sovereignty in asserting Indigenous rights and preserving cultural heritage. This collection of shorts presents a rich tapestry of voices and radical perspectives that have existed from time immemorial\, considering the intersections of ecological stewardship and self determination which continue to disperse across fertile lands.” – wave~form~projects and re:assemblage collective. \nFilm program\nDuration: 74 minutes \n\nCecilia Vicuña\, Semiya (Seed song) (2015\, Chile\, 8 mins)\nAlanis Obomsawin\, Farming (1975\, Canada\, 2 mins)\nRana Nazzal Hamadeh\, We Would Be Freer (2023\, Palestine/Canada\, 9 mins)\nMarwa Arsanios\, Who is Afraid of Ideology\, Part I & II (2017-2019\, Lebanon/Iraqi Kurdistan\, North and East Syria\, 39 mins)\nRyley Williams\, it’s amazing that you still exist (2021\, Canada\, 4 mins)\nNicolás Grandi and Lata Mani\, Nocturne I (2013\, India\, 5 mins)\n\nSupplemental material from the curators and our partners\nVideo: The Untold Revolution: Food Sovereignty in Palestine (26 mins)\, Ameen Nayfeh\, 2021 \nVideo: Seeds are meant to disperse (8.5 mins)\, Christina Battle\, 2022.

SUMMARY:No Other Land
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 10\, 4 pm and 7 pm\nat Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center (map)\nDoors open at 6:45 pm. Registration highly recommended; click here to register.\nBoth screenings are now sold out.\nThis free screening (92 minutes) will be followed by a discussion lead by LOLA and Jewish Voice for Peace Buffalo. \nA collective of Palestinian and Israeli activist/filmmakers chronicle the Israeli military’s incremental expulsion of the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta — home to 20 ancient Palestinian villages — in this tightly focused\, urgent documentary. Over a period of five years (2019–23)\, Masafer Yatta resident and Palestinian journalist Basel Adra shoots video of home\, school\, water well\, and road demolitions (legalized by the area’s conversion to an IDF training zone) and their consequent protests by displaced residents. Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham — free to move about while Adra’s movements are constricted — takes this nonviolent fight to a wider platform. The two form a complicated friendship and hopeful partnership in their efforts to resist a government-sanctioned mass eviction. \nPresented in partnership with Squeaky Wheel Film & Media Art Center\, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center\, LOLA\, Jewish Voice for Peace Buffalo\, and Buffalo Int’l Film Festival. \nFurther reading\nBasel Adra\, Our film is going to the Oscars.

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.

SUMMARY:Songs of Memory and Forgetting: Films by Assia Djebar\, Inas Halabi\, Onyeka Igwe\, Tiffany Sia
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 23\, 7 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nGet tickets below\nSongs of Memory and Forgetting brings together three short films by Inas Halabi\, Onyeka Igwe\, and Tiffany Sia\, along with Assia Djebar’s essential 1982 anti-colonial classic\, The Zerda and the Songs of Forgetting. The artists in this screening take on archives and collective memories: where we search for and see them\, their possibilities and limitations in crafting a collective future. Part of the public programs of The Image in its Absence\, the screening complements the works in the exhibition. Catering\, including vegetarian options\, will be provided by Ali Baba Kebab. \nAttendees: Squeaky Wheel is located in Suite 310 of Tri-Main Center. Take the elevator to the third floor\, and head left. Please note that you cannot enter Tri-Main Center after 7:30 pm. Click here to see parking\, transportation\, and accessibility information. \nThe screening is funded by Teiger Foundation. The films are courtesy of the artists and Video Data Bank (for Tiffany Sia)\, Lux (for Onyeka Igwe)\, and Arsenal (for Assia Djebar).’ \nStills\nA still from Onyeka Igwe’s No Archive Can Restore You.

The subtitles state “they placed all the young men from the village on a truck and took them to the Lebanese border”A still from Tiffany Sia’s What Rules the Invisible. Five people looking at a landscape in an old home movie.\nProgram\nTotal duration ~90 minutes. Descriptions courtesy the filmmakers and distributors. \nInas Halabi\, Mnemosyne\nDigital video\, 14 minutes\, Arabic with English subtitles\, 2016-2017 \nThe title of the work is borrowed from the Titan goddess of memory and the ‘inventress of language and words.’ The starting point for the project is a scar on the forehead of the artist’s grandfather. The scar was a result of a bullet shot in his direction by an Israeli soldier in the late 1940’s. Focusing on the sagas of myth and the construction of memory\, members of the same family are filmed individually as they narrate their version of the same event. By scratching the surface of family history\, the project explores the scar as a foundational hinge that arranges reality. The project also considers how one can play the role of a historian when the primary source is no longer there. ‘We do not remember. We rewrite memory much as history is rewritten.’ As such\, recollection becomes an act of transformation rather than reproduction. \nTiffany Sia\, What Rules the Invisible\nDigital video\, 9:50 minutes\, English and Cantonese\, 2022 \nWhat Rules The Invisible is a short film that upends archival travelog footage shot in Hong Kong. Spanning reappropriated amateur footage across the 20th century\, the sojourner’s gaze—distanced\, distorted and even voyeuristic—shows tropes and patterns. The same shots repeat across decades\, from landscape to cityscape to street scenes. Sometimes the footage reveals more about the traveler himself\, such as a sequence where the camera curiously tracks the hips and bare legs of women wearing cheongsam crossing a busy intersection. Sia’s essay film studies these travelogs to find indignant subjects glaring back at the camera\, or figures on the edges of the frame who appear pixelated and phantasmic\, showing the patina of the footage’s circulation. Meanwhile\, intertitles intermittently puncture this footage with an oral history of Hong Kong\, as told by Sia’s mother who describes colonial police\, excrement and hauntings in Kowloon of the postwar era. The viewer is left to imagine these scenes there are no images for. \nOnyeka Igwe\, No Archive Can Restore You\nDigital video\, 5:54 minutes\, 2020 \nThe former Nigerian Film Unit building was one of the first self-directed outposts of the British visual propaganda engine\, the Colonial Film Unit\, stands empty on Ikoyi Road\, Lagos\, in the shadow of today’s Nigerian Film Corporation building. The rooms are full of dust\, cobwebs\, stopped clocks\, and rusty and rotting celluloid film cans. Amongst these cans\, a long-lost classic of Nigerian filmmaking\, Shehu Umar (1976) was found in 2015. The films housed in this building are hard to see because of their condition\, but also perhaps because people do not want to see them. They reveal a colonial residue\, that is echoed in walls of the building itself. Taking its title from the 2018 Juliette Singh book\, No Archive Can Restore You depicts the spatial configuration of this colonial archive\, which lies just out of view\, in the heart of the Lagosian cityscape. Despite its invisibility\, it contains purulent images that we cannot\, will not\, or choose not to see. The film imagines ‘lost’ films from the archive in distinctive soundscapes\, juxtaposed with images of the abandoned interior and exteriors of the building. This is an exploration into the ‘sonic shadows’ that colonial moving images continue to generate. \nAssia Djebar\, La zerda et les chants de l’oubli (The Zerda and the Songs of Forgetting)\n16mm film on digital video\, 59 minutes\, Arabic with English subtitles\, 1982 \nFor La zerda et les chants de l’oubli\, Algerian writer Assia Djebar changed her field and recapitulated the colonization of the Maghreb using French newsreels. Through editing\, the film seeks in these “images of a killing gaze” the truth they precisely don’t reveal\, the “resistance behind the mask.” The soundtrack combines polyphonic chants and experimental music to create a furious elegy to colonial violence. Djebar creates a complex picture of Algeria’s colonial history\, focusing particularly on the role and portrayal of women during this period. Screenplay by Malek Alloula. \nBiographies of the filmmakers\nAlgerian-born\, Muslem raised\, Paris-educated\, Assia Djebar (1936- 2015) tackled all genres: poetry\, plays\, short-stories\, novels and essays. In her books Djebar explored the struggle for social emancipation and the Muslim woman’s world in its complexities. Several of her works deal with the impact of the war on women’s mind. She wrote\, directed\, and edited her own films\, winning the Biennale prize at the 1979 Venice Film Festival with her very first attempt\, La Nouba des Femmes du Mont Chenoua (The nouba or “ritual” festival of the Women of Mt. Chenoua). She staged her own plays and both translated and directed the plays of others (Amiri Baraka’s\, for example). In 2000\, she authored an operatic libretto\, Filles d’Ismaël dans le vent et la tempête (Daughters of Ishmael\, through wind and storm). Based on her 1991 narrative on the life of the Prophet\, Far from Medina\, this oratorio was performed to excellent reviews in Rome and at the Palermo Arts Festival. A second version\, in classical Arabic this time\, is commissioned for future performance in Holland. Djebar is one of North Africa’s most famous and influential writers\, and was elected to the Académie française on June 16\, 2005\, the first writer from the Maghreb to achieve such recognition. She won the following awards: Peace Prize of Frankfurt Book Fair (2000); International Prize of Palmi (Italy); Marguerite Yourcenar Prize for Literature (Boston\, MA); International Literary Neustadt Prize (1996); International Critics Prize\, Biennale of Venice\, for the film “La nouba des femmes du Mont Chenoua.” (08/18) – Biography via Women Make Movies \nInas Halabi (b.1988\, Palestine) is an Artist/Filmmaker. Her practice is concerned with how social and political forms of power are manifested and the impact that overlooked or suppressed histories have on contemporary life.

She is born and based in London\, UK. In her non-fiction video work Onyeka uses dance\, voice\, archives\, sound design and text to create structural ‘figure-of-eights’\, a format that exposes a multiplicity of narratives. The work comprises of untieable strands and threads\, anchored by a rhythmic editing style\, as well as close attention to the dissonance\, reflection and amplification that occurs between image and sound; in the work as much in life\, what is said and what we see are not always the same thing. www.onyekaigwe.com \nTiffany Sia (b. 1988) is an artist\, filmmaker\, and writer. Sia’s films have screened at TIFF Toronto International Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, MoMA Doc Fortnight\, and elsewhere. She has had solo exhibitions at Artists Space\, New York; Maxwell Graham Gallery\, New York; and Felix Gaudlitz\, Vienna. Sia is the author of On and Off-Screen Imaginaries (Primary Information\, 2024)\, a compendium of essays that makes a case for fugitive\, exilic cinema\, moving beyond national identity and the politics of place as a critical lens. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at Museum of Modern Art\, New York; Fondazione Prada\, Milan; Seoul Museum of Art\, Seoul and elsewhere. Her essays have appeared in Film Quarterly\, October\, and more. The recipient of the Baloise Art Prize in 2024\, Sia has given talks at Dia Art Foundation\, Stanford University\, and has taught at Cooper Union. The artist and filmmaker’s work at its core challenges genre. Working across mediums\, her multidisciplinary practice materializes across multiple forms from films\, video sculptures\, artist books\, scholarly essays\, and more. Sia’s work blends nonfiction with poetics and theoretical inquiry. Her formal explorations confront questions about the representation of memory and place\, relating especially the imaginaries of exceptional and irregular polities beyond the national (from Hong Kong to elsewhere). Throughout\, her conceptual focus remains in the struggle to represent historical time\, geography\, and the limits of official records. Sia currently lives and works in New York. \nBanner image: A still from Onyeka Igwe’s No Archive Can Restore You (2020).

SUMMARY:Meet the Residents: G. Anthony Svatek & Kaija Siirala\, Kyla Kegler\, Sue Ding
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 11\, 7 pm ET\nIn-person at Squeaky Wheel and online\nFree or suggested donation\nGet tickets below\nSqueaky Wheel is pleased to present this hybrid artist talk with our Spring 2025 Workspace Residents! G. Anthony Svatek & Kaija Siirala (Brooklyn\, NY and Hamilton\, ON)\, Kyla Kegler (Buffalo\, NY) and Sue Ding (Los Angeles\, CA) 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. \nDirector G. Anthony Svatek & editor and sound designer Kaija Siirala will be working on the post-production of Humboldt USA\, an experimental documentary about the legacy of 19th century queer German geographer Alexander von Humboldt. Long before today’s globalized world – rapid travel\, the internet\, artificial intelligence\, etc. – Humboldt made a radical proposal while reflecting on his travels through the Americas: nature as “one great whole\,” an interconnected web-of-life. His ideas planted the seeds for Western environmentalism and information science\, earning him such global notoriety that no other person’s name has been given to as many places\, species\, and things – none of which Humboldt ever saw or named himself. The film was shot in three locations across the United States\, including Buffalo’s Humboldt Parkway\, with key protagonist Terry Robinson of the East Side Parkways Coalition\, highlighting the community’s struggle against solidifying the expressway with the “toxic tunnel” project\, as proposed by the New York State Department of Transportation. \nKyla Kegler will be working on Care-Core\, a multi-channel video installation examining self-care\, collective care\, somatic knowledge\, and utopian responses to individualistic culture. Drawing on historical\, contemporary\, and embodied care practices\, the project will explore how people want to give and receive care\, imagining post-capitalistic and sustainable structures for interdependent living. The research considers the tension and incongruities between collective ideals and individualistic agendas; between ego and altruism. It investigates the mechanisms of human prosperity and happiness — mapping alternative ways of living with and for one another in the face of an ever escalating global eco- political catastrophe. \nSue Ding will be working on The Spectacle of Her Appetites\, a two-channel video installation exploring female hunger and its portrayal on screen. Appropriating footage from popular films and television\, the project interrogates the cinematic language of women and food\, tracing intersections of desire\, shame\, and discipline. \nWorkspace Residency is supported by Teiger Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Special thank you to Kiesha Lillian Adamczyk-Bennett at Faith Real Estate Services\, Inc. and William Marcus Bennett at Bennett Home Inspection for sponsoring this session of the residency. Learn more about the program here: squeaky.org/workspace-residency \nBiographies of the artists\n \nHaving grown up at the foot of the Austrian Alps\, G.

SUMMARY:The Image in its Absence: Azza El-Hassan\, Carolina Ebeid\, Crystal Z Campbell\, Noor Abuarafeh
DESCRIPTION:Opening\, Friday\, March 21\, 6–8 pm. On view through May 30\nRemarks by Curator Ekrem Serdar at 7 pm\nOn view Tuesdays\, Thursdays\, Fridays\, 12–5 pm\, Wednesdays 12–7pm\, and by appointment.\nExtended hours for final week of the exhibition:\nFriday\, May 23\, 12–7 pm\nSaturday\, May 24\, 12–5pm\nTuesday–Friday\, May 27–30\, 12–7pm\nFree and open to the public\nThe Image in Its Absence is a group exhibition and public events featuring work on archives that have been displaced and destroyed\, and how communities care for and imagine them in their absence. The exhibition includes contemplative essay films\, speculative video\, poetry\, and more\, featuring work by Azza El-Hassan\, Carolina Ebeid\, Crystal Z Campbell\, and Noor Abuarafeh. The public programs include work by Assia Djebar\, Inas Halabi\, Joe Hall\, Onyeka Igwe\, and Tiffany Sia. \nThe works in the exhibition and public programs focus on several different historiographic approaches to how artists address the absence of archives. Azza El-Hassan’s A Remake of a Revolutionary Film reconstructs the last five minutes of Palestinian Film Unit member Hani Jawherieh’s (1939-1976) life before he was killed by Israeli forces in Lebanon. The film is accompanied by In the Presence of a Fighter\, a projection of seven photographs by Jawherieh\, made in Lebanon in 1969 before he was killed\, and that is part of El-Hassan’s long-standing archival work as part of The Void Project. Noor Abuarafeh\, in The Moon is a Sun Returning as a Ghost\, contemplates the role of exile in collective memories. The work the follows the fate of artworks that were featured in a 2005 exhibition in Switzerland by Palestinian artists\, and which were unable to be returned to Palestine due to challenges by the Israeli government. Crystal Z Campbell\, in Go-Rilla Means War\, fabulates a new narrative for an unfinished\, vinegar damaged\, and neglected 35 mm film found on the floor of a now demolished Black Civil Rights movie theater in gentrifying Brooklyn. Carolina Ebeid’s poem\, She Got Love: A Circle of Spells for Ana Mendieta\, focuses on the testimony and lack of witnesses to the death of the singular Cuban-American artist; its circle is both protective and repellant\, seemingly circling Mendieta herself. In the context of the exhibition\, the work dives into what is hidden in recorded official testimony\, and what exists beyond it. \nThe exhibition is accompanied by two public programs\, including a screening of films by Inas Halabi\, Onyeka Igwe\, Tiffany Sia\, and Assia Djebar’s The Zerda and the Songs of Forgetting; and a poetry reading with Carolina Ebeid and Joe Hall. \nThe exhibition is curated by Ekrem Serdar\, who would like to thank Judith Goldman\, Laura Marris\, the University at Buffalo Poetics program\, Zeynep Öz\, and Jeff Sherven. This program is funded by Teiger Foundation\, and co-sponsored by the Poetics Program at University at Buffalo. \nImages\nA still from Crystal Z Campbell’s Go-Rilla Means War.

The five minutes were featured in Palestine in the Eye (1977) a film made by the Palestine Film Institute to commemorate the life of one of its founders. Yet\, forty-two years later\, what motivates these images takes on a different turn in A Remake of a Revolutionary Film. \nAzza El-Hassan\, In the Presence of a Fighter\nDigital video\, silent\, 2:43 minutes looped\, 2019\nIn the Presence of a Fighter is a modern digital installation by Azza El-Hassan of Palestinian fighters portraits which Palestinian photographer\, Hani Jawherieh\, made in 1969. The portraits were first exhibited by Jawherieh in 1969 as gigantic prints to illustrate the presence and strength of the fighters. These portraits were plundered by the Israeli army in 1982 during the Israeli invasion in Lebanon\, and they no longer exist in public spaces. In this modern installation\, reflections of the images are projected on the empty wall. The fighters are phantoms who appear only to disappear. \nCrystal Z Campbell\, Go-Rilla Means War\n35mm scanned to digital video by the artist\, English with open captions\, 20 minutes\, 2017\nGo-Rilla Means War is a filmic relic of gentrification featuring 35mm film salvaged from a now demolished Black Civil Rights Theater in Bedford-Stuyvesant\, Brooklyn. After finding the film unfinished and un-canned on the floor of The Slave Theater\, Campbell collaborated with the unknown director (presumably amateur filmmaker Judge John Phillips who owned the Slave Theater) to finish the film. A secret Black fraternal organization dominates the visual narrative\, accompanied by a parable that binds intersections of development\, cultural preservation\, and erasure. \nNoor Abuarafeh\, The Moon is a Sun Returning as a Ghost \nDigital video\, Arabic with English subtitles\, 10 minutes\, 2023\nThe video is based on research that follows the cases of seventeen exhibitions by Palestinian artists\, each containing different artworks and exhibited in different countries around the world\, the majority of which are considered missing today. The Moon is a Sun Returning as a Ghost follows one of these cases\, an exhibition that took place in 2005 in the Swiss town of Martigny. The works could not be returned to the artists and were instead moved from a country to another and from one storage facility to another. The video questions how the immateriality of missing objects affects our memory of them\, especially in a colonized context where the materiality of the object is constantly in danger of being manipulated\, destroyed or stolen. The work shows that by poetically liberating historiography from its objecthood\, more narratives can emerge that extend beyond the materiality of the object in which it is transmitted orally. \nCarolina Ebeid\, She Got Love: A Circle of Spells for Ana Mendieta\nPoetry on vinyl and read by the artist in digital sound\, 2:55 minutes\, 2024\nShe Got Love: a circle of spells for Ana Mendieta is a visual poem that centers the letter O\, whose orthographic origins date back to the Phoenician pictograph of the eye. While there was no eye-witness to Mendieta’s death (other than her husband Carl Andre\, who was arrested and later acquitted)\, a witness heard her say “no” as recounted in testimony. The poem then conjurs the O of the witness and the O of no to open up a protective space whose ensorcelling text the viewer and listener can read in a multitude of ways. The work was first installed in the exhibition and concurrent publication A Mouth Holds Many Things: A De-Canon Hyrbid-Literary Collection at Stelo Arts (Portland\, OR) in 2024; the exhibition was curated and the publication was edited by Dao Strom and Jyothi Natarajan\, co-directors of De-Canon.\n \nBiographies of the artists\nAzza El-Hassan is a visiting professor of practice at the Doha institute for Graduate Studies and an award winning documentary filmmaker. She is the founder of The Void Project\, a research and media production project that examines the effect of colonial plundering on the formation of a present visual Arab narrative. Her book The Afterlife of Palestinian Images: Visual Remains and the Archive of Disappearance is considered a groundbreaking study in how colonial violence alters and changes visual objects – which in turn affects how a society and culture relates to its own images. \nCarolina Ebeid is a multimedia poet. She is the author of You Ask Me to Talk About the Interior (Noemi Press\, 2016) and the chapbook Dauerwunder: a brief record of facts (Albion Books\, 2023). Her next book Hide is forthcoming from Graywolf Press in winter of 2026. Her work has been supported by the Stadler Center for Poetry at Bucknell University\, CantoMundo\, the NEA\, and a residency fellowship from the Lannan Foundation. She is the current Bonderman Assistant Professor of poetry at Brown University. A longtime editor\, she currently edits poetry at The Rumpus\, as well as the multimedia zine Visible Binary. Carolina grew up in West New York\, New Jersey in a Cuban and Palestinian family. \nCrystal Z Campbell\, 2021 Guggenheim Fellow in Fine Arts\, is a visual artist\, experimental filmmaker\, and writer of Black\, Filipinx\, and Chinese descents whose works center the underloved. Working through archives and omissions\, Campbell finds complexity in public secrets—fragments of information known by many but undertold or unspoken.\nCampbell’s works have screened and exhibited internationally: MIT List Visual Arts Center\, SFMOMA\, Walker Art Center\, St. Louis Art Museum\, The Drawing Center\, Nest\, ICA-Philadelphia\, MOMA\, BLOCK Museum\, REDCAT\, Artissima\, Bemis\, Project Row Houses\, SculptureCenter\, Semana Cinema de Negro in Belo Horizonte\, 67th Flaherty Film Seminar\, and others. Awards include a NYFA/NYSCA Fellowship\, Creative Capital Award\, Freund Fellowship\, Harvard Radcliffe Fellowship\, Pollock-Krasner Award\, MAP Fund\, MacDowell\, Skowhegan\, Rijksakademie\, Whitney ISP\, Franklin Furnace\, Black Spatial Relics\, and a DUKE DocX Fellowship.\nCampbell’s writing is featured in two artist books published by Visual Studies Workshop Press\, World Literature Today\, Monday Journal\, GARAGE\, and Hyperallergic. Campbell is a Visiting Associate Professor in Art and Media Study at the University at Buffalo. \nNoor Abuarafeh is a Palestinian artist based between Jerusalem and Rotterdam. Her practice spans video\, performance\, publications\, and video installations\, with a focus on the themes of memory\, history and archives and the complexities of tracking absence. Noor’s videos and performances are based on texts and call the complexity of history into question: how it is formed\, constructed\, made\, perceived\, visualized and understood. She asks how all these elements are related and investigates the possibility of representing the past when the past is still present. Her videos and socially-engaged works are based on interviews\, workshops and other participatory encounters.\nIn the past Abuarafeh has shown in solo and group exhibitions at De Appel (2024)\, Art Jameel (2024)\, Jakarta Biennale (2024)\, Frieze Museum (2023)\, Venice Biennale (2022)\, Berlin Biennale (2020)\, and Sharjah Biennale 13 (2017). She also participated in the Off-Biennale Gaudipolis in Budapest (2017) and the Qalandia International in Jerusalem (2018)\, among others. In 2019\, she held her first solo exhibition\, The Moon is a Sun Returning as a Ghost\, curated by Lara Khaldi in Jerusalem. \nBanner image: A still from Azza El-Hassan’s A Remake of a Revolutionary Film.

There will be catering with vegetarian options by Ali Baba Kebab. The doors will open at 6:30 pm\, and the screening will begin at 7 pm. \nIn a village in the Niyamgiri mountains of Odisha’s Eastern Ghats\, a heroic effort is underway: barefoot ecologist Dr. Debal Deb and his 3 member-team are conserving in-situ over 1000 endangered heirloom varieties of rice. Odisha’s Eastern Ghats region is one of the world’s surviving biodiversity hotspots\, with Adivasi communities like the Kondhs possessing the knowledge of growing multiple crops with their folk seeds\, evolved over centuries. At the same time\, the village and the wider region is irreversibly changing with the coming of genetically modified cotton seeds and associated chemicals. Seed Stories takes a worm’s eye view of how this is reshaping a geography and a people steeped in agro-ecological knowledge\, and altering their attitudes towards farming\, food and ecology. It invites audiences to reflect on the question\, “What is sustainability?” \nOfficial Selection: Kolkata People’s Film Festival\, Chennai International Documentary & Short Film Festival\, Festival delle Terre\, Rome\,  Give Peace A Screen\, Torino Other Screenings: Vikalp@Prithvi – Films for Freedom\, Mumbai; India International Centre\, Delhi; National Centre for Biological Sciences\, Bengaluru;  Bengaluru International Center; Museum of Goa.

SUMMARY:Work in progress: Kalpana Subramanian's Breath Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 21\, 12 pm ET\nFree or suggested donation\nOnline over Zoom. RSVP below\nSqueaky Wheel is excited to welcome back Kalpana Subramanian for an online artist talk on her in-progress project Breath Worlds – an interdisciplinary project composed of sound works\, emerging technologies\, moving image and performance. \nWith breathing in crisis\, our existence as a respiratory species is becoming increasingly precarious and inequitable. This project speculates on what it means to breathe\, in an era when breath itself can no longer be taken for granted. How can breath be reclaimed from the forces that imperil it? Can breath be cultivated and shared? These are just some of the motivations that guide this project – exploring breath and breathing as a universal right (Mbembe\, 2020)\, a form of interconnectedness and a future paradigm. \nThe project is supported by the New York State Council of the Arts’ Support for Artists grant. \nBiography of the artist \nKalpana Subramanian\, PhD\, is a multidisciplinary artist\, filmmaker and scholar whose recent practice explores transcultural and interdisciplinary approaches to experimental film and media. Her arts-based doctoral research at the Department of Media Study\, University at Buffalo\, proposes a novel mode of experiencing cinema through an attention to breath philosophy and poetics. Her films have been exhibited at venues including the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival\, Toronto International Film Festival\, Images Festival (Canada)\, Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival (Scotland)\, Chicago Underground Film Festival\, Flaherty NYC Seminar (USA) UNESCO (France)\, Wildscreen UK\, and National Gallery of Modern Art (Mumbai\, India) among others. Her films have received awards from the Documentary Festival of History and Archeology (Italy\, 2015)\, Montana CINE International Film Festival (USA\, 2003\, 2005) and the Center for Media Studies Vatavaran Film Festival (India\, 2008). Her curated programs have screened at Simon Fraser University (Canada)\, Harvard FAS CAMLab\, Alternative Cinema series (Colgate University\, USA) and Bristol Experimental Expanded Film (UK) among others. Subramanian is recipient of a UK Environmental Film Fellowship (2006)\, Fulbright Nehru Academic and Professional Excellence Fellowship (2015-16) and a New York State Council on the Arts grant (2024) among other honors. She is an Assistant Professor of Cinema Arts at the University of Colorado Boulder. \nBanner image: Blue and orange light curved around a flecked surface.

SUMMARY:16mm Film in the Darkroom: Rayographs with Carl Lee
DESCRIPTION:Sunday November 3\n12pm-4pm\n$120 (10%discount for members)\n  \nJoin us for another experimental 16mm film workshop in the darkroom\, led by filmmaker Carl Lee!  Dive into the art of rayographs—also known as photograms—using black and white 16mm motion picture film. \nIn this special one-day hands-on experience\, you’ll explore the world of camera-less filmmaking by exposing intriguing found objects on strips of film with photo enlargers. Then\, you’ll roll up your sleeves and hand-process your creations in the darkroom\, bringing your experiments to life. \nBut that’s not all! You’ll also learn to use a film splicer\, allowing you to weave your film strips together into a short film. The workshop will culminate in a film screening\, where you can showcase your work and see how your ideas transform on the big screen. \nDon’t miss this chance to experiment\, create\, and connect with fellow artists in a fun and supportive environment. \nNOTE: This workshop is very hands-on and potentially a little splashy\, so dress appropriately (gloves and aprons will be provided\, but please don’t wear your favorite outfit!) \nAll equipment and materials will be provided. We will have a collection of found objects to experiment with\, and participants are invited to bring personal objects as well. We will meet in the darkroom in Upton Hall at Buffalo State University. More info and arrival instructions will be provided after registration. \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n \n  \nInstructor Bio: \nCarl Lee is a media artist based in Buffalo\, NY. Since the 1990s he has been making films\, videos\, and multi-channel installations that explore the built environment and personal spaces\, perception\, and the precarity of images on our screens and in our heads. His most recent work\, Unity Island\, a three-screen installation shot on 16mm film\, is a personal exploration of a unique\, multi-layered piece of land situated between the Niagara River and Black Rock Canal in Buffalo\, NY. His work has been screened and exhibited nationally and internationally.  \nhttp://carljlee.com \n  \nAll images courtesy Carl Lee
