Presented in collaboration with Just Buffalo Literary Arts Center. \nThe Spring 2020 session of Workspace Residency is sponsored by Hostel Buffalo-Niagara. \nSaif Alsaegh is a United States-based filmmaker from Baghdad.

His films have screened in many festivals including Cinema du Reel\, Kruzfilm Festival Hamburg\, Kasseler Dokfest\, Onion City Film Festival and in galleries and museums including the Wisconsin Triennial at MMoCA.

SUMMARY:Representation in Filmmaking with Caleb Abrams
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 11\, 7–9 pm\nFree and open to the public \nAs a filmmaker\, what does it mean to represent a community? How do you impart the emotion of another person’s experience? Join filmmaker and Spring 2020 Workspace Resident\, Caleb Abrams for a conversation on the questions above through a behind the scenes look at his practice. \nCaleb Abrams is an Onöndowa’ga:’ (Seneca) filmmaker and multimedia artist based out of what is currently considered Buffalo\, New York. Raised on the Seneca’s Allegany Territory\, much of his work emerges from the social\, historical\, and cultural background of the Seneca. Abrams has written and produced multiple independent short films and videos for the Seneca Nation\, Seneca-Iroquois National Museum/Onöhsagwë:dé Cultural Center\, and Odawi Law PLLC. He has also produced work in collaboration with PBS-WNED-TV\, Vision Maker Media\, Skipping Stone Pictures\, and Toward Castle Films. Lake of Betrayal (2017)\, the award-winning national public television documentary on which Abrams served as the associate producer\, examines the impact of the Kinzua Dam on the Seneca Nation – a topic much of his work has explored. Abrams’ films have been presented at universities\, historical societies\, libraries\, museums\, high schools\, and community and cultural resource organizations throughout Haudenosaunee Territory and the Northeast. \nThe Spring 2020 session of Workspace Residency is sponsored by Hostel Buffalo-Niagara. \nImage: Caleb Abrams\, The Burning of My Coldspring Home(in-progress)

SUMMARY:Love & Sex Show: Sweet Nothings
DESCRIPTION:Special Event | Friday\, February 14\, 7–10 pm\n$7 General\, $5 Members\, free for ArtsAccess Pass holders\nAges 18+ only. Please review our community guidelines.  \nSqueaky Wheel’s annual Valentine’s day event celebrating intimacy and sexuality returns with a special auditory edition. Listen to headphones filled with ASMR and other tracks by artists Erin Gee and Hope Mora; create a live soundtrack to a new film by Caroline Doherty; sing along to karaoke films by Michael Robinson\, and Wayne Yung\, and enjoy a performance by lyricist and hip hop artist Desiree Kee\, and much more! \nProgram\n7–8 pm: Listen to artist made audio tracks by Hope Mora and Erin Gee on remote headphones\, and sing your heart out with karaoke! \n8 pm: Come together in the microcinema to watch\, listen\, sing\, and vocalize to films by Caroline Doherty\, Dina Georgis and Sharlene Bamboat\, Jess Dobkin\, Lauren Fournier\, Michael Robinson\, Thirza Curthand\, and Wayne Yung! \n9 pm: Gather in the gallery to listen to a performance by lyricist Desiree Kee\, followed by more karaoke! \nAudio Works\nChannel 1\nErin Gee\, of the soone\, 18:39 min\, digital sound\, 2019\nErin Gee leads the listener in a first-person roleplay as a specialist of a new experimental neural treatment: language processing and deprocessing. After a brief testing of equipment and EEG monitoring\, Gee reads out the processes of a long-short term memory algorithm as it “learns” language from the classic book of passions gone awry\, “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Brontë. This exposure to machined-evolution of linguistic patterns is intended to reset or recalibrate human linguistic patterns in your brain\, offering a form of abstracted\, deep tissue neural “massage”. \nChannel 2\nHope Mora\, Sex With Harmony\, 1:48 min; Basic Need With Dajah\, sound\, 1:21 min; My Neck My Back\, Bell Hooks Love\, and Magic Booty\, 5:03 min\, digital sound\, all 2020 \nScreening program\nThirza Curthand\, Helpless Maiden Makes An “I” Statement\, 6 min\, digital video\, 1999\nBy using clips of evil queens/witches this video plays off the sadomasochistic lesboerotic subtexts commonly found in children’s entertainment. A helpless maiden is tiring of her consensual s/m relationship with her lover\, and “evil” queen. She wants to break up. An impassioned monologue in a dungeon with our heroine in wrist cuffs quickly becomes an emotionally messy ending in flames. This video was inspired by the artist’s own childhood “kiddie porn”\, Disney movies which turned her on to no end and kicked off many a prepubescent masturbation session. \nLauren Fournier\, Sex and Death\, 4 min\, digital video\, 2015\nThe performer re-frames the Freudian tension between eros and thanatos using the feminist tradition of performance for video. She repeats the locution “sex and death and sex and death and sex and death” aloud as she shimmies across the screen. The formal integrity of the loop meets the failures of the body\, as the performer playfully moves across the screen\, trying to catch her breath to continue the spell-like invocation. Sex and death— the drive toward binding (eros) and the drive toward destruction (thanatos)— are configured by Freud to be the two fundamental drives behind Western civilization. In this video\, the Freudian tension is taken up through a floundering\, vaguely sexual performance. The function of humour is something which has been increasingly (re)claimed by Canadian feminist video and performance artists in recent years\, and is something that I find both politically efficacious and formally refreshing. \nJess Dobkin\, It’s Not Easy Being Green\, 3 min\, digital video\, 2011\nA heartfelt and provocative rendition of Kermit the Frog’s melancholic It’s Not Easy Being Green\, where the artist\, in the role of Kermit the Frog\, is fisted by a woman in drag in the role of Jim Henson. Together\, as human puppet and puppeteer\, they lip sync the much loved song. This film is a for-camera version of a performance previously presented to live audiences. For mature audiences. \nDina Georgis and Sharlene Bamboat\, In Queer Corners\, 6 min\, digital video\, 2013\nIn Queer Corners is a collaborative video by Dina Georgis and Sharlene Bamboat. The video examines the ways in which archives harbour stories\, those that are spoken\, and those left unsaid. Based on serendipitous encounters\, and employing the language of dreams and desire\, Georgis and Bamboat narrate each other’s stories and address the complications of queer re-tellings. In Queer Corners explores the limits and possibilities of the archive through the theme of narration and storytelling. Working with a found object from the dusty and neglected corners of the Canadian Lesbian & Gay Archive\, this work explores how archival objects can come to life through their encounter with the present\, with other desires\, and with unexpected responses and meanings.\nThe archive\, if left unexamined\, works authoritatively to construct and stabilize knowledge. Though it selects and gathers signs unconsciously\, what is held within its walls is neither arbitrary nor innocent. In resistance to interpret archival objects into a synchronized story of the past\, In Queer Corners looks to its archival object as an affective placeholder from which new meanings and new stories can be made. The narratives recorded in this work respond to the found image in narrative accounts where the line between dream and reality is distorted. They speak a non-literal truth about desire\, insecurity\, despair\, sex\, race and class\, and the difficulty of uttering and representing these very things. Knowledge itself is vulnerable\, made in relation\, and articulated in broken stories. Reaching for some thing or some place\, the bodies represented tell unfinished narratives. Though the bodies stand alone\, the line between self and other is obfuscated and they depend on each other to tell their stories. \nWayne Yung\, One Night in Heaven\, 5 min\, digital video\, 1995\nIn this queer Asian spoof of karaoke\, a new boy in town discovers the dark side of the big city. The story follows his adventures to an underground club where sex and murder are in store. \nCaroline Doherty\, Rock\, Soft Place\, ~5 min\, digital video\, 2020 \nMichael Robinson\, Hold Me Now\, 5 min\, digital video\, 2008\nPlagued by blindness\, sloth\, and devotion\, a troubled scene from Little House On The Prairie offers itself up to karaoke exorcism. \n \n \nDesiree Kee \n \nDina Georgis and Sharlene Bamboat\, In Queer Corners (2013) \nBios of the artists \nCaroline Doherty is an artist based in Buffalo\, NY.

SUMMARY:Punctures | Charlie Best & Jodi Lynn Maracle
DESCRIPTION:Artist talks & Closing | Friday\, February 7\, 7 pm\nFree and open to the public \nJoin us for the closing event of Punctures with artist talks by Charlie Best and Jodi Lynn Maracle. Best will speak about their window installation We Interrupt this Program\, made as “an invitation for confusion and joy\, full of noise\, for trans people.” Jodi Lynn Maracle will share her video work A Song to the Water from a Loving Child which explores generational relationships to and for lands and waters. The artists will be joined by curator Ekrem Serdar for a conversation and Q&A following their presentations. \nCharlie Best is an artist and seamstrix living and working in what is currently known as buffalo\, ny. Picking and choosing between fiber and textiles\, video\, collage\, performance\, and sculpture\, Charlie’s work interrupts transmissions of the gender binary\, lack of imagination\, capitalism\, and other ills lurking in common cultural forms. Richard Scarry illustrations\, men’s shirts\, catholic mass\, and network television are just some of what awaits the cut of the scissors. Charlie is committed to the joys\, lessons\, fears\, and aesthetics of nonbinary imagination practices. They received a bfa in sculpture and expanded media from alfred university’s school of art and design (2018)\, and were the recipient of a fellowship to the cite internationale des arts\, paris\, france. They have exhibited locally and nationally\, most recently at sugar city (buffalo\, ny) with “something from the basement”. The current interests of their practice include the application of anarchist tactics/thoughts/dreams and children’s stories to garment and accessory design\, and the history of VHS. Charlie and collaborator Jaz Palermo are in pre production for their first film\, titled st. tilapia’s school for gayward girls\, which they both hope gets banned somewhere. \nBorn and raised in what is currently considered Buffalo\, NY\, Jodi Lynn Maracle is a Kanien’keha:ka mother\, artist\, teacher and language learner. Jodi utilizes Haudenosaunee material language and techniques\, such as hand tanning deer hides\, and corn husk twining\, in conversation with sound scapes\, projections\, video\, and performance to interrogate questions of place\, power\, erasure\, story making\, and responsibility to the land. She has shown her work throughout Dish With One Spoon Territory in site specific installation performances such as the Mush Hole Project at the defunct Mohawk Institute Residential School (home of the Woodland Cultural Centre) in Brantford\, ON\, as well as the Gardiner Museum in Toronto\, ON\, Artpark in Lewiston\, NY\, and Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center\, in Buffalo\, NY. Her research as a PhD student at the University at Buffalo focuses on Haudenosaunee material culture\, language\, land and birth practices. Of her accomplishments\, she is most proud to hear her son speak his Mohawk language each day. \n\nThis exhibition is part of Punctures: Textiles in Digital and Material Time. Consisting of three exhibitions and public programs that weave into each other\, Punctures features artists who are invested in the intersections and history of textile practices\, media art\, and critical and liberatory politics\, including trans fashion and domesticity; gendered and immigrant labor under global racial capitalism; Gelede women’s commemoration\, protest and power as represented in textile work; speculative future-casting through Oglala Lakota knowledge systems\, and more. The exhibition features installations by Betty Yu\, Cecilia Vicuña\, Charlie Best\, Eniola Dawodu\, Kite\, and Sabrina Gschwandtner\, performances by Charlie Best\, Jodi Lynn Maracle\, and Kite\, and screenings of work by Jodie Mack\, Pat Ferrero\, Sabrina Gschwandtner\, and Wang Bing. Punctures design by Kelly Walters. \nImage: Jodi Lynn Maracle\, A Song to the Water from a Loving Child (2020)

Featuring films by Alta Kahn\, Cydnii Wilde Harris\, Eytan İpeker\, Laura Kraning\, Lesley Loksi Chan\, the Manaki Brothers\, Senga Nengudi\, and Susie Bennally\, the eight films in this group screening include a found-footage film that utilizes Gone with the Wind to explore the cotton industry and transatlantic slavery in the United States; two films made as part of the project Navajo Film Themselves (1966) by Alta Kahn and Susie Bennally; and one of the few films shot in the Ladino language by Eytan Ipeker. With filmmaker Laura Kraning in person who will be present for a conversation and Q&A for her film Language of Memory. \nProgram \nCydnii Wilde Harris\, Cotton: Fabric of Genocide\n4 min\, digital\, sound\, 2018\n“This is a video essay about slavery. Oops. I mean\, cotton.” – Cydnii Wilde Harris \nLesley Loksi Chan\, Curse Cures\n11 min\, digital\, sound\, 2009\n“The arrival of a new worker to a jeans factory causes changes to the rhythms of the workplace. This mysterious narrative integrates personal and collective history with fiction. The visuals were created with both found images and original photography reproduced on acetate sheets which were subsequently sewn together and projected onto a wall and video-taped. This mixed-media work is a reflection on the repetitive labour and materiality of textile work and the im/possibilities for resistance to challenging working conditions.” – Lesley Loksi Chan. Courtesy of Vtape. \nLaura Kraning\, Language of Memory\n3 min\, 16mm on digital video\, sound\, 2009\n“Language of Memory is a hand-processed\, optically printed film composed of rayographs of my grandmother’s still negatives from the early 1900s\, strips of her old lace casting abstract patterns on high contrast film\, and the overlapping gestures of sewing and splicing film\, related techniques historically attributed to women. It is both homage to my grandmother’s creative influence and a deconstruction of memory through fragmentation and the accretion of associations surfacing from the tactile processes of the film’s making.” – Laura Kraning \nSusie Bennally\, A Navajo Weaver\n24 min\, 16mm on digital\, silent\, 1966 \nAlta Kahn\, Second Weaver \n10 min\, 16mm on digital\, silent\, 1966 \nA Navajo Weaver and Second Weaver are two films produced in a workshop in 1966 taught by Sol Worth\, John Adair and Richard Chalfen. They traveled to Pine Springs\, Arizona\, where they taught a group of Navajo students to make documentary films\, including Alta Kahn and her daughter Susie Bennally. In her life\, Kahn was known as a renowned weaver\, and Bennally was an accomplished weaver\, having worked with her mother since the age of eight. \nThe series of films made through this workshop is known as Navajo Film Themselves. Emerging by a critique from the anthropologists that anthropological film had been “dictated by American (or Western) trained eyes and hands and guided by the emotions\, attitudes\, and values of that culture”\, the project nonetheless evinces several colonial presumptions on the part of the instructors. The two films\, which have been shown in venues such as the Flaherty Film Seminar and the Navajo National Museum\, are both depictions of two experienced and skilled weavers (Kahn and Bennally)\, but also open important questions on the nature of ethics\, aesthetics\, and pedagogy.

Produced from a residency at The Fabric Mills Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia\, this film follows the movements of a worker carefully striding across the factory floor with a collection of threaded spools. His gestures\, practiced movements used in his daily work\, are as seamless as a choreographed dance. She cuts to close ups of his fingers delicately tying thread to a hook and of the swaying metal machinery… the artistry of this work relies on the medium of the moving image to build narrative by cutting to discrete moments\, or exploring the space of the factory itself.” – Simone Krug\, Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles. Digital file courtesy Thomas Erben Gallery. \nYanaki and Milton Manaki\, The Weavers (also known as Grandmother Despina)\n1 min\, 35mm on digital\, silent\, 1905\nWidely considered to be the first film shot in the Ottoman Empire\, this film shot in the city of Monastir (modern day Bitola\, North Macedonia)\, which was a economic and cultural center of the empire. Originally titled “Our 114-year-old grandmother at work weaving”\, the film and its filmmakers have come to symbolize an enigmatic moment at the turn of the 20th century\, coinciding with the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire\, and emergence of the many modern states throughout the region.\n\nEytan İpeker\, Dantelacı (The Lace Peddler)\n18 min\, 16mm on digital video\, Turkish and Ladino with English subtitles\, 2005\n“Adapted from the award-winning short story by Eli Aji\, Dantelacı (The Lace Peddler) depicts traveling lace seller Yasef Efendi as he adjusts to societal changes in 1950s Istanbul.” – Eytan İpeker \n\nThis screening is part of Punctures: Textiles in Digital and Material Time. Consisting of three exhibitions and public programs that weave into each other\, Punctures features artists who are invested in the intersections and history of textile practices\, media art\, and critical and liberatory politics\, including trans fashion and domesticity; gendered and immigrant labor under global racial capitalism; Gelede women’s commemoration\, protest and power as represented in textile work; speculative future-casting through Oglala Lakota knowledge systems\, and more. The exhibition features installations by Betty Yu\, Cecilia Vicuña\, Charlie Best\, Eniola Dawodu\, Kite\, and Sabrina Gschwandtner\, performances by Charlie Best\, Jodi Lynn Maracle\, and Kite\, and screenings of work by Jodie Mack\, Pat Ferrero\, Sabrina Gschwandtner\, and Wang Bing.

SUMMARY:Punctures | no idle hands and Hearts and Hands
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, January 15\, 2019\, 7pm\n$7 General\, $5 Members\, free for ArtsAccess pass holders \nSqueaky Wheel presents an evening of two films that investigate how women have asserted and gained political and social agency through textiles. Featuring Sabrina Gschwandtner’s no idle hands (2008) and Pat Ferrero’s Hearts and Hands (1988)\, this screening coincides with the exhibition of Gschwandtner’s two works on view in the gallery: Hands at Work (for Pat Ferrero) and Hands at Work (for Pat Ferrero) II\, both of which were made with 16mm film prints of films by Pat Ferrero. Sabrina Gschwandtner will be present via Skype to introduce the screening. \nGschwandtner’s no idle hands\, shot of the string-like material of Super 8mm\, is a traveloge film taking viewers on a symbolic journey of the history of knitting. As the artist states\, the title no idle hands\, “historically referred to women pitching in to help the war movement; to the act of keeping busy to avoid unease or unrest\, and to the actions of those who want to stimulate change. This film evokes the latter meaning\, as it depicts women placing textiles within feminist\, queer\, and collaborative art contexts.” The film is followed by Pat Ferrero’s 1988 documentary Hearts and Hands\, which chronicles the lives and quilt making practices of ordinary women as well as individuals such as Harriet Tubman\, Elizabeth Keckley\, Frances Willard and Abigail Scott Duniway through the 19th century. Made over a period of ten years\, and with unprecedented access to historic quilts in both private and public collections\, Ferrero’s film traces the role of quilts in forming communities that speak to abolition\, patriotism\, social justice and settler-colonialism. \nProgram\nSabrina Gschwandtner\, no idle hands\, 9:43min\, Super 8 film transferred to video\, sound\, 2008\nPat Ferrero\, Hearts and Hands\, 60min\,16mm film transferred to video\, 1988 \nPat Ferrero is an independent filmmaker whose work as a producer/director includes Hopi: Songs of the Fourth World\, Hearts & Hands and Quilts in Women’s Lives.

SUMMARY:Punctures | Jodie Mack’s The Grand Bizarre
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: Due to the weather\, we have postponed the screening of this film to the date below. \nWednesday\, December 14\, 2019\, 3pm\n$7 General\, $5 Members\, free for ArtsAccess pass holders \nJodie Mack’s feature film The Grand Bizarre (2018) investigates recurring patterns and techniques in textile production and consumption in a global economy through a collage of textiles\, tourism\, language\, and music. Join us for a screening of the celebrated film! \nJodie Mack\, The Grand Bizarre\, 60:30 minutes\, 16mm on digital projection\, color\, sound\, 2018\n“A postcard from an imploded society. Bringing mundane objects to life to interpret place through materials\, The Grand Bizarre transcribes an experience of pattern\, labor\, and alien[-]nation[s]. A pattern parade in pop music pairs figure and landscape to trip through the topologies of codification.

SUMMARY:Punctures | Eniola Dawodu and Kite
DESCRIPTION:Opening\, November 22\, 2019\, 6–9pm\nArtist Talk and Q&A with Eniola Dawodu and Amy Sall at 7:30pm\nOn view through December 22\, 2019\nFree and open to the public \nThe second exhibition of Punctures features two works placed in conversation: Kite’s multi-media installation and performance Everything I Say Is True (2017)\, which considers concepts of truth in relation to Oglala Lakota knowledge systems. Eniola Dawodu’s IRAN SI IRAN (2019)\, funded by the Creative Arts Initiative\, is a newly commissioned textile work which reassembles a fragmented chorus of ancestral African women’s strategic radical overtures toward autonomy and cultural sovereignty. \nJoin us for the opening of the exhibition on November 22nd with artist Eniola Dawodu in conversation with Amy Sall (Founder and Editor-in-Chief\, SUNU: Journal of African Affairs\, Critical Thought + Aesthetics). Artist Kite will be present for a performance of Everything I Say Is True on Saturday\, December 7\, with a conversation between her and Dr. Jolene Rickard. \n \nImage: Eniola Dawodu\, Iran Si Iran (2019). Image by Kaitlyn Lowe. \nEniola Dawodu is a British-born Nigerian based between Dakar\, Senegal and Brooklyn\, NY. She is engaged in the cultural archiving of memories\, methods\, and magic concerning West African textiles and aesthetics of style + self-presentation. Her research and creative practice privilege traditional dress practice\, its motif and methodology\, as potent conduits for cross-generational communication\, situated in the liminal and powerfully charged with legacy and history. With reverence to foremothers\, Dawodu reimagines garments of power as masques within which space is held for the latent narratives of ancestral African experiences. In alliance with master artisans via ancient techniques\, past and present-day collapse into cross-dimensional expression. Woven memoirs unite; a foundation upon which truths are embroidered. \nKite aka Suzanne Kite is an Oglala Lakota performance artist\, visual artist\, and composer raised in Southern California\, with a BFA from CalArts in music composition\, an MFA from Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School\, and is a PhD student at Concordia University and Research Assistant for the Initiative for Indigenous Futures. Her research is concerned with contemporary Lakota epistemologies through research-creation\, computational media\, and performance practice. Recently\, Kite has been developing a body interface for movement performances\, carbon fiber sculptures\, immersive video & sound installations\, as well as co-running the experimental electronic imprint\, Unheard Records. \nA graduate from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Arts & Sciences\, Amy Sall holds a master’s degree in Human Rights Studies\, concentrating on the right to development and youth empowerment in Sub-Saharan Africa. She received her BA in 2012 from The New School University in Culture and Media Studies\, with a concentration in Cultural Studies and a minor in Journalism.  Sall is Founder and Editor-in-Chief of SUNU: Journal of African Affairs\, Critical Thought + Aesthetics (SUNU Journal)\, a forthcoming publication seeking to amplify emerging voices and perspectives on matters and ideas concerning Africa and the Diaspora. From 2016 to 2017\, she was a Part-time Lecturer in the Culture and Media Studies department of The New School University’s Eugene Lang College\, where she developed and taught two courses: Third Cinema & The Counter Narratives\, and The African Gaze: Postcolonial Visual Culture of Africa & The Social Imagination. She is a 2016 Independent Curators International (ICI) + RAW Material Company Fellow.\nWith a keen interest in cultural studies\, African affairs and artistic expression\, Amy Sall is interested in the ways in which visual culture\, literature\, postcolonial and critical theory inform\, shape and encourage contemporary discourses surrounding the socioeconomic\, political and cultural. She consults for entities engaged in projects\, programming\, exhibitions\, and/or research relating to contemporary African and Afro-diasporic visual culture (specifically photography and cinema). Her consulting also extends to projects and research centered on African/Afro-diasporic theory\, literature and social science. Amy Sall is also a collector of vintage vernacular photography and printed matter coming from Africa and the diaspora (ca. 1950s – 1970s). These Pan-African artifacts are housed in her small\, but growing private collection\, The Sall Collection. The Sall Collection was established with the ideas of cultural preservation and cultural sovereignty in mind. Its existence serves as a means to maintain agency by pushing back against the neocolonial ways of archiving\, collecting\, and disseminating African/Black artifacts. \nThis exhibition is part of Punctures: Textiles in Digital and Material Time. Consisting of three exhibitions and public programs that weave into each other\, Punctures features artists who are invested in the intersections and history of textile practices\, media art\, and critical and liberatory politics\, including trans fashion and domesticity; gendered and immigrant labor under global racial capitalism; Gelede women’s commemoration\, protest and power as represented in textile work; speculative future-casting through Oglala Lakota knowledge systems\, and more. The exhibition features installations by Betty Yu\, Cecilia Vicuña\, Charlie Best\, Eniola Dawodu\, Kite\, and Sabrina Gschwandtner\, performances by Charlie Best\, Jodi Lynn Maracle\, and Kite\, and screenings of work by Jodie Mack\, Pat Ferrero\, Sabrina Gschwandtner\, and Wang Bing. Punctures design by Kelly Walters. \nEniola Dawodu’s exhibition is supported through a residency from the Creative Arts Initiative at the University at Buffalo. Creative Arts Initiative is a university-wide initiative\, dedicated to the creation and production of new work upholding the highest artistic standards of excellence and fostering a complementary atmosphere of creative investigation and engagement among students\, faculty\, visiting artists\, and the community. \nBanner Image: Kite\, Everything I Say Is True (2017).

SUMMARY:Punctures | Wang Bing’s Bitter Money
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 25\, 2019\, 7pm\n$7 General\, $5 Members\, free for ArtsAccess pass holders \nWang Bing’s celebrated Bitter Money (2016) follows a handful of workers in the city of Huzhou\, home to 18\,000 clothing factories. Capturing them both at work—where they may labor for more than 12 hours a day—and in their off-hours\, this demanding\, rewarding film incisively captures the conditions of the contemporary textile industry. \nWang Bing\, Bitter Money\, 152 minutes\, digital video\, 2016 \nBing has an unreal talent for finding precisely the right way to frame candid moments. —Hyperallergic \nWang’s camera captures the relentless hopelessness of the Chinese low-income working class\, not for us to gawk at\, but for us to experience\, to become a part of it\, and to maybe also understand it.—Frameland\n\nThis screening is part of Punctures: Textiles in Digital and Material Time. Consisting of three exhibitions and public programs that weave into each other\, Punctures features artists who are invested in the intersections and history of textile practices\, media art\, and critical and liberatory politics\, including trans fashion and domesticity; gendered and immigrant labor under global racial capitalism; Gelede women’s commemoration\, protest and power as represented in textile work; speculative future-casting through Oglala Lakota knowledge systems\, and more. The exhibition features installations by Betty Yu\, Cecilia Vicuña\, Charlie Best\, Eniola Dawodu\, Kite\, and Sabrina Gschwandtner\, performances by Charlie Best\, Jodi Lynn Maracle\, and Kite\, and screenings of work by Jodie Mack\, Pat Ferrero\, Sabrina Gschwandtner\, and Wang Bing. Punctures design by Kelly Walters. \nImage: Wang Bing\, Bitter Money (2016). Special thanks to Icarus Films.
