This fall, join leading UBC scholars, artists, curators and critics in a series of midday conversations at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery.
Featuring UBC Philosophy’s very own Carrie Jenkins and Johnny Mack (Peter A. Allard School of Law and First Nations and Indigenous Studies Program), the event invites two prominent, disciplinarily distinct voices into the gallery to discuss productive intersections of their own work and the current exhibition, followed by a discussion that includes the audience. In this series, guests will address Elemental Cinema, which brings together the collaborative film works of Denise Ferreira da Silva and Arjuna Neuman.
Elemental Cinema is framed by a two-part symposium – the first taking place in Oaxaca, Mexico in early September and the second at the Belkin in December. We invite you to join the artists in urgent discussions with land and water defenders, language-preservation scholars, activists and curators for a fulsome immersion into the most pressing concerns put forward by the exhibition and our shared global experience of radical precarity.
Everyone is welcome and admission is free. For more information about the exhibition, please visit https://belkin.ubc.ca/exhibitions/elemental-cinema/.
