SUMMARY:[ E N  | C L O S I N G ]
DESCRIPTION:February 9–14\, 2022\nFree or suggested donation\nRegister here\n“[i would’ve said goodbye if i thought you loved me] is an unflinching reckoning with the irreparable: Can we truly “let go” in the wake of a rupture? How does one recover from loss\, and its accumulation\, other than by inhabiting it? What does it take to give oneself over to grief? With these questions in mind\, I understand the three screens\, as well as the bubbles and text that they contain\, as a set of layers\, each one necessarily encrypting the next.” – Camille Bacon \nA five day series of emails featuring writing and media\, [ E N | C L O S I N G ] features responses by artists to SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY’s exhibition and web project i would’ve said goodbye if i thought you loved me. \nCurated by the artist and Camille Bacon\, audiences can sign up to receive one email per day starting February 9th and through February 14th\, featuring a different artist speaking to both the themes of the exhibition\, and to Camille Bacon’s writing on HOLLOWAY’s work. Artists include Cy X\, Natalie Jasmine Harris\, and zakkiyyah najeebah dumas-o’neal. The final day will feature a jointly written letter by Bacon and HOLLOWAY. \nBy signing up\, you consent to receive one email per day between February 9 through February 14 to the email address you sign up with. Please check your spam folder if you do not see the email in your inbox. Emails will be sent out near midnight. Sign up by 8 pm ET on February 9 to receive the emails on a daily schedule between February 9 and 14. Audience members who sign up after February 9 will receive the emails the following week\, between February 16 – 21. \nYou can view and learn more about SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY’s exhibition here. \nBiographies \nSHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY is a new media artist and poet. Through works of video installation\, software\, and real-time performance\, her work often critically engages the technical language of instruction\, especially the aesthetics and mechanics of practices from queer feminist BDSM communities\, to direct viewers to read\, play\, or listen their way through narratives that guide them in and out of visceral memories\, asking them to confront intense emotions like desire\, shame\, or regret\, and to employ them as mechanisms to navigate through and/or away from abuses of power. She has spoken and exhibited work internationally in spaces like The New Museum (NYC)\, The Kitchen (NYC)\, The Time-Based Art Festival (Portland)\, Institute of Contemporary Arts (London)\, Hebbel am Ufer HAU (Berlin)\, and NTS Radio (London). SHAWNÉ was a 20-21 Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art Queer Theatre & Performance Resident as well as a resident at Portland Institute for Contemporary Art’s Creative Exchange Lab. \nCamille Bacon is a Chicago-based critic and writer who recently graduated from Smith College in Northampton\, MA\, and is crafting a “sweet Black writing life\,” as inspired by the words of poet Nikky Finney. \nCY X (they/we) is a black queer non-binary storyteller and cyber witch merging sound\, video art\, installation\, and performance. Their practice is grounded in the art of synthesis: truth generation and sound generation which is used to create portals that may aid us in exploring black queer futures and abolitionist possibilities. Fusing art and technology with the practice of witchcraft\, they use spells\, rituals\, and alchemic practices as modes of activation. Cy earned a BA in Film and Media Studies from Colorado College and a Masters Degree from New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program. \nNatalie Jasmine Harris is a Black queer filmmaker from Maryland currently based in New York City. She received her BFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in May 2020. Her work spans narrative\, documentary\, and experimental forms but is centered around a mission to tell stories that capture coming-of-age experiences\, showcase Black joy\, and reimagine liberation for marginalized communities. Natalie’s most recent short film “Pure” received The 2020 Directors Guild of America’s Student Film Award and completed a film festival run that included over 40 festival screenings worldwide. The film received commendations from several film festivals that include ABFF\, Outfest\, The British Film Institute\, The Pan African Film Festival\, and many more. After placing as a Finalist in The 2021 American Black Film Festival’s HBO Short Competition\, “Pure” was acquired by HBO and is now streaming on HBOMax. Natalie is currently adapting the concept behind “Pure” into a feature-length film of the same name that has received support from SFFILM\, The Gotham (formerly known as IFP)\, and The Outfest Screenwriting Lab. \nzakkiyyah najeebah dumas o’neal makes work to further understand how the specificity of her own lived experiences are connected to historical and contemporary movements that involve embodied knowledge production. She explores this through social portraiture\, video assemblage\, collage\, drawing\, and found images. She seeks to reinforce a different kind of gaze (and gazing) which she processes through empathy\, desire\, love\, queer identity\, family\, intimacy\, illegibility\, and poetics. Within her projects there’s an overlying theme of trying to make sense of what and who she belongs to.\nUltimately\, she intends for her work to encourage ways of being and feeling beyond the systems we inhabit. zakkiyyah has been included in numerous group exhibitions and has had several solo exhibitions at Mana Contemporary\, Blanc Gallery\, Indiana University\, and South Bend Museum of Art.\nHer work has been presented in various forms at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago\, NADA\, The Art Institute of Chicago\, The August Wilson African American Cultural Center\, Chicago Humanities Festival\, DePaul University\, and Harvard Graduate School of Design to name a few. She has also curated exhibitions at spaces such as Chicago Art Department\, Blanc gallery and Washington Park Arts Incubator at the University of Chicago. She was recently an Artist in Residence at Arts and Public Life at University of Chicago and an Artist in Residence at Indiana University in Bloomington\, IN. zakkiyyah is a Co-founder of CBIM (Concerned Black Image Makers): a collective of Black artists\, thinkers\, and curators that prioritize shared experiences and concerns by lens based artists of the Black diaspora. \nThis program was funded in part by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Humanities New York with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. \nBanner image: A GIF from a screen capture on January 24\, 2022  at 5 pm ET of SHAWNE MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY\, https://iwouldvesaidgoodbyeif.ithoughtyouloved.me \, 2021

SUMMARY:Coalition Building Towards Liberatory Technologies
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED – Stay tuned for the new date!\nWednesday\, September 30\, 2021\, 7 pm ET\nFree or pay what you can\nRegister here\nAccessibility: ASL interpretation and open captions provided. \nOn the occasion of Johann Diedrick’s Dark Matters\, this panel with artists Johann Diedrick and Jenson Leonard and moderated by Richie Wills will discuss both the discriminatory and exploitative artificial intelligences of our current moment\, and imagine libertory future technologies. How would a libertatory artificial intelligence act? What are the networks\, communities\, and infrastructures we need to build our tomorrows? \nThe event will be available for 24 hours for everyone who registers\, and 72 hours for Squeaky Wheel members. This event is co-presented with Just Buffalo Literary Center. \nAbout the panelists \nJohann Diedrick is a Caribbean-American artist\, engineer\, and musician who makes installations\, performances\, and sculptures for encountering our world through your ears. He surfaces vibratory histories of past interactions inscribed in material and embedded in space\, peeling back sonic layers to reveal hidden memories and untold stories. He shares his tools and techniques through listening tours\, workshops\, and open-source hardware/software. He is the founder of A Quiet Life\, a sonic engineering and research studio that designs and builds audio-related software and hardware products for delightfully encountering our environment and each other. He is a 2021 Mozilla Creative Media Award recipient\, a member of NEW INC\, and an adjunct professor at NYU’s ITP program. His work has been featured in Wire Magazine\, Musicworks Magazine\, and presented at MoMA PS1 (Queens\, NY)\, Somerset House (London\, UK)\, Social Kitchen (Kyoto\, Japan)\, Common Ground (Berlin\, Germany)\, Recess (Brooklyn\, NY)\, Knockdown Center (Queens\, NY)\, and Pioneer Works (Brooklyn\, NY). \nJenson Leonard b. Detroit\, Michigan\, and raised in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, United States of America. Lives and works in New York\, United States of America. Initially a poet\, Jenson Leonard became interested in memes during his six-year tenure as a cook at a Belgian waffle kiosk. He found himself drawn to the immediacy and reach of instant publication on social media\, the confluence of which exacerbate the arguably inherent power of the image for those who see. His early work used the canonical Twitter meme format\, but developed into the more ornately parodic style that predominates in the left-leaning corners of Facebook. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Pratt Institute. He has completed residencies at Obracadobra (Oaxaca\, Mexico)\, Squeaky Wheel (Buffalo\, NY) and Pioneer Works (Brooklyn\, NYC). His work has been featured in VICE Motherboard\, Juxtapoz\, AQNB\, and Rhizome. \nRICHIE WILLS holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the State University of New York at Buffalo. Richie has worked as a Writing Center and BABEL volunteer and as an outreach coordinator for Words on the Street and The Mocha Center. He is also contributing writer for The Galactic Tribe and continues to work as a community organizer. Richie believes in the power of the written word and storytelling to bring people together and break barriers. \nAbout Just Buffalo Literary Center’s Civil Writes Project \nJust Buffalo Literary Center’s Civil Writes Project CELEBRATES the legacy of prominent Black writers who have called Buffalo home\, whose voices shape history\, inspire radical change\, and influence current and future generations of poets and writers; DRAWS INSPIRATION from Buffalo’s history as a gateway to freedom along the Underground Railroad; and CHALLENGES our community to grapple with racism and inequities through literature\, to find pathways toward justice in the power of the written word\, and to open hearts & minds as we confront our shared past and present in order to shape a more equitable future.

SUMMARY:Meet the Residents: Crystal Z Campbell\, Jordan Lord\, Olivia Ong Evans
DESCRIPTION:Image description: A rectangular image with three photographs side by side. From left to right: Portrait of Crystal Z Campbell\, a Black and Asian artist in the studio gazing directly into camera\, with just above the shoulder length curly hair wrangled into a half-ponytail. Light from the industrial window creates a pink and reddish glow on their cheek\, filtered through a transparency the artist is holding. The transparency is a film still from a found 35mm film the artist found at a now demolished Black Civil Rights Theater. The photograph is courtesy of Melissa Lukenbaugh. In the middle photograph is Jordan Lord\, a 30 year-old white person with short brown hair\, stands in front of a tank of bioluminescent jellyfish\, wearing a face mask printed with the nose and mouth of a tiger. Their eyes seem to be smiling. The photograph on the right is of Olivia Ong Evans\, facing the camera and smiling. She has long\, black hair and is wearing metal framed glasses and a black and white shirt. Behind her is a pink\, purple\, gray\, and aqua blue video still showing tree branches\, river branches\, and a smoke stack in the background.⁠\nThursday\, August 26\, 2021\, 7 pm ET\nFree or pay what you can\nClick here to register\nAccess information: TBA.

Campbell finds complexity in public secrets—rumored information known by many but undertold or unspoken. Recent works revisit questions of immortality and medical ethics with Henrietta Lacks’s “immortal” cell line\, ponder the role of a political monument and displacement in a Swedish coastal landscape\, and salvage a 35mm film from a demolished Black activist theater in Brooklyn as a relic of gentrification. Campbell is a Harvard Radcliffe Film Study Center & David and Roberta Logie Fellow (2020-2021) living and working in Oklahoma\, and founder of archiveacts.com. Campbell was recently named a 2021 Guggenheim Fellow in Fine Arts. \nJordan Lord is a filmmaker\, writer\, and artist\, working primarily in video\, text\, and performance.

Their exhibition “Prophetic Memory” is currently in-progress online and at various sites via Artists Space (New York\, NY). They teach at Hunter College\, CUNY (New York). \nOlivia Ong Evans (she/her/hers) is a video artist currently living on occupied Haudenosaunee land (Western New York). She uses experimental practices to create glitchy\, distorted visuals that explore positionality.  Her work centers on themes of identity construction\, migration\, connection to land\, and Hokkien Indonesian heritage.

SUMMARY:Starting with Access: Where a Film Begins with Jordan Lord
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, August 23\, 2021\, 6 pm ET\nFree or pay what you can.\nRegister here. Limited capacity.\nAccessibility: ASL interpretation and live-captions will be available.\nNew and experienced filmmakers are invited to a private workshop to learn critical concepts to creatively integrate forms of accessibility for disabled audiences into their films. Forms of access are usually treated as so-called “accommodations\,” left to third-party service providers to perform after a film or video has been completed. Understanding access as a way in or a means of approach\, participants will be asked to reimagine their creative process beginning with access as the first step in conceiving what a film is and how it will communicate with its audiences. \nWorkshop participants will be invited to frame access at intersections of disability\, race\, language\, class\, and gender\, while primarily focusing on two more-or-less codified access technologies––audio description (AD) for Blind\, low vision\, and other audiences and captioning for Deaf\, hard-of-hearing\, and other audiences.  \nLord will present examples of how disabled filmmakers have used access as integrated formal tools in their films\, while working through critical questions that emerge around practices of audio description and captioning––asking how the access needs of our audiences might guide our approaches to filmmaking. These complex and layered forms of communication are often presented as apparently neutral translations of images and sounds. But\, of course\, as numerous Blind\, Deaf\, and disabled audiences\, artists\, and activists have shown\, these translations are anything but neutral and often render segregation\, censorship\, and insufficient information\, while presenting manifold possibilities as creative and artistic tools.  \nBio of the artist \nJordan Lord is a filmmaker\, writer\, and artist\, working primarily in video\, text\, and performance. Their work addresses the relationships between historical and emotional debts\, framing and support\, access and documentary. Their video and performance work has been shown internationally at venues including MoMA\, ARGOS\, Camden Arts Centre\, Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts\, and Performance Space NY (as part of the festival “I wanna be with you everywhere”). Their exhibition “Prophetic Memory” is currently in-progress online and at various sites via Artists Space (New York\, NY). They teach at Hunter College\, CUNY (New York). \nThis event is part of Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency.

Repeat this\ndipping process a few times\, allowing the water to come back up to temperature if needed. The skin of the chicken will start to look tight and smooth and slightly opaque.\nReturn the chicken to the pot\, cover\, and adjust the heat to maintain a water temperature of about 180-185F (82-85C). Do not let the water boil or you will end up with chicken soup.\nPoach for 40 minutes to 1 hour depending on size of chicken.\nIf you’re not sure whether it’s cooked\, you can test with a thermometer (175F in the thickest part of the thigh)\, but ideally you shouldn’t pierce the chicken at this point.\nCarefully transfer chicken to a large bowl of ice water to chill completely. Do not discard the cooking broth.\nWhile the chicken cools\, make the rice.\nRinse and drain jasmine (or other medium-grain) rice\, then use the chicken cooking broth instead of water to cook the rice.\nOptional step: Saute minced garlic in some oil until fragrant\, add the rice and stir to coat\, before adding to rice cooker.\nNow\, make the ginger sauce.\nPeel and roughly chop a lot of ginger.\nUsing a food processor\, blitz the ginger to a fine texture. It will start to give off some liquid\, and there should be no more long fibers remaining. Transfer the ginger to a heatproof bowl.\nPress the ginger to squeeze out most of the juice. It does not have to be totally dry\, but too much ginger juice will make the sauce too spicy.\nUsing same food processor\, finely mince 1 or 2 scallions and add to ginger. Season with some salt.\nHeat up a few tablespoons of peanut or vegetable oil in a small skillet or saucepan until it is extremely hot and begins to smoke.\nPour the oil slowly all over the ginger mixture and stir. It should sizzle vigorously and form a paste.\nAdd some of the chicken cooking broth to adjust the consistency\, and more salt if desired.\nWhen the chicken is fully cooled\, the skin should have a firm\, snappy bite\, and the meat will be succulent with jellied chicken juices.\nCarve and arrange on a platter with sliced cucumbers and chopped cilantro. Serve with rice. The cooking broth also makes a good side soup (add some salt and garnish with cilantro/scallion).\nIn addition to the ginger sauce\, the chicken goes well with soy sauce\, various chili sauces\, or fish sauce.\n\nBios of the artists \nCheng Yang “Bryan” Lee is the curator at El Museo\, a contemporary arts organization that focuses on underserved artists and communities in Buffalo and Western New York. Originally from Malaysia\, he is a graduate of the University at Buffalo. \nEvelyn Kwong is a journalist based in Toronto whose passion is covering inequities\, stories on identity\, and spotlighting voices that are often unheard. Growing up raised by a single-mother (and watching her do three jobs to put food on the table for a family of 3)\, her inspirations to fight for equity came from discovering her own identity as a Chinese-Canadian woman\, overcoming abuse as a survivor\, and being introduced to mental health struggles earlier on in her life. Due to those life experiences\, she decided to go into journalism as a career to provide a platform for those who feel voiceless. Her latest work as an editor of the Star is leading the charge on the opinion column “In Their Own Voices” where she takes stories\, experiences\, opinions on identity with an intersectional lens from humans across Canada. \nImmony Mèn is an artist\, educator\, and community-based researcher. He is an Assistant Professor of Interaction Design in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and School of Interdisciplinary Studies at OCAD University. \nPatricio Dávila is a designer\, artist\, researcher and educator. He is Associate Professor\, Cinema and Media Arts\, and core member of Vision: Science to Applications (VISTA) at York University. \nPublic Visualization Studio is a design collective whose members are designers\, artists\, creative technologists and researchers. The collective creates projects as a means to pursue inquiries into the political and conceptual aspects of interaction\, space and media. Its members attempt to investigate how specific technologies of vision\, communication and gesture support our experiences in participatory spaces. Members of the collective have exhibited nationally and internationally\, and have worked in a variety of areas including public projection\, media architecture\, locative media\, video installation\, exhibition design\, interaction\, communication design and media scholarship. PVS works in collaboration with the Public Visualization Lab\, a university-based lab in Toronto. PVS founding members are Patricio Dávila\, Dave Colangelo\, and Immony Mèn. PVS is located in Toronto\, Canada. \nEl Museo is a 501(c)3 nonprofit\, professionally directed visual arts organization dedicated to the exhibition of contemporary work by underserved artists\, and cultural programming that engages diverse communities through the arts and humanities.
