SUMMARY:The Distance Plan - Climate and Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Opening Thursday June 2nd\, 2016\, 7-10pm. \nExhibition on view June 3rd – June 18th\, Wed-Sun 12-6pm or by appointment. \nArtist talk – Bjarki Bragason and Sarah Rara in conversation with Abby Cunnane & Amy Howden-Chapman Saturday June 11th\, 2016\, 3pm. \n  \nBjarki Bragason\, Carolina Caycedo\, Fiona Connor\, Ryan Jeffery & Boaz Levin\, Steve Kado\, Susannah Sayler & Edward Morris for The Canary Project and Sarah Rara. With a new text by Lina Moe. Organized by Abby Cunnane\, Amy Howden-Chapman and Luke Fischbeck. \nThe Distance Plan: Climate and Infrastructure brings together work by 10 practitioners that address major infrastructural forms of the present – energy generation\, digital frameworks and mass transport networks – in relationship to future alternatives. Providing a diagram of our carbon-intensive era\, these works look at the ideologies driving development\, and how today’s infrastructure determines both the means by which natural resources are consumed\, and the ability of communities to change patterns of carbon consumption by redefining the built environment. \nThe politics of infrastructure is often caught in the fraught terrain between strategies for mitigating climate change and those promoting adaptation. The Distance Plan: Climate and Infrastructure thereby responds to the concept of ‘path dependency’ – the idea that the choices available to us in the present are contingent on knowledge and decisions made in the past\, and that future capacity for change is substantially determined by our current planning. \nWorks consider the energy use of data centers (Ryan Jeffery & Boaz Levin); Colombian dams being built to power extractive industries (Carolina Caycedo); and the energy use of arts institutions (Fiona Connor). The Canary Project’s work\, The American River Archive (Water Gold Soil) tells the story of a single flow of water in present-day California from origin to end-use. The project is a form of historiography\, an allegory in which one strand of California’s vast waterworks becomes a broader exploration into an Age of Extraction that appears near its culmination. \nWork by Steve Kado tracks the aesthetics and paraphernalia of global mobility\, while Bjarki Bragason’s project considers the relationship between geo-engineering and emissions reductions. Through documentation of ‘CarbFix’ Bragason presents images of a project in which Icelandic scientists work with industry to mineralize Co2 by funneling it deep into basaltic rock hundreds of meters below the earth’s surface\, accelerating a process which would otherwise take dozens of millennia. Sarah Rara’s work Broken Solar [Accumulator] is a meditation on natural resources\, human-built environments\, and the aesthetics of renewable energy. The work studies photo-voltaic surfaces and strategies for converting light into electricity and heat\, traversing sites of production from the skeleton of a blue whale to Biosphere 2\, from the riparian hills of Ukiah to Arizonan solar farms. \nThe soft infrastructures of institutions are also considered\, as attempts to manage the present effects of climate change are confronted by municipal and national governments and local community organizations alike. In a new text by Lina Moe about the closure of New York City’s L train for post-Sandy repairs she observes how issues of inclusion\, equity\, and efficiency play out at all institutional levels. The line’s closure is an example of the increasing vulnerability of civic infrastructure and Moe asks if retreat\, rather than rebuilding should be the goal\, concluding that the latter directly reflects the present state of denial about the increasing environmental precarity of the system. \nFor further information visit TheDistancePlan.Org\nor contact info@thedistanceplan.org \nBjarki Bragason Ten Thousand and One Years (one year of emissions at 449\,5 meters) detail for installation. 2016.\nSarah Rara “Broken Solar” Still from single-channel video\, 2016.\nThe Distance Plan: Climate and Infrastructure (installation view)\nThe Distance Plan: Climate and Infrastructure (installation view)\nThe Distance Plan: Climate and Infrastructure (installation view)

SUMMARY:REHEARSAL: Song of Eurydice
DESCRIPTION:doors: 4:30\nperformance: 5 PM SHARP\nmediated discussion: 5:30 $10 suggested donation \nSong of Eurydice is a choral / movement piece that re-envisions the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice as a call to marginalized artists\, emphasizing a discourse between Eurydice (mecca vazie andrews) and the deity of the underworld\, Persephone (Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs). Picking up where the ancient tale left off\, Eurydice descends once more into the Underworld to contemplate its infrastructure and inhabitants.  \nThis work-in-progress preview of Prelude + Act 1 marks the LA premiere of Sophia Cleary’s REHEARSAL series. REHEARSAL\, founded in 2011\, is a works-in-progress performance series in which one artist or group shares their work with the opportunity to hear back from their audience. Loosely following the Liz Lerman Critical Response process\, REHEARSAL provides a nurturing and structured space for feedback for artists at any stage in their process.  \nSong of Eurydice\nchoreography by mecca vazie andrews\nlibretto + score by Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs\ncostume by 69  \nSong of Eurydice is made possible by support from the California Arts Council – Local Impact Grant\, and the generous time and effort on the part of Sarah Williams / Women’s Center for Creative Work.

SUMMARY:DecolonizeLA - DivineBrick
DESCRIPTION:DivineBrick (josie j) makes research-based existentially iconoclastic artwork. A lifetime of re-configuring views\, beliefs\, self-structure and modeling a research-oriented existence that explores belief and where it stems from\, this is where it has lead. \nBass pushing air\, creaking\, cracking a wooden device called the Basso\, to set the bio and molecular rhythm of the space. A device\, part bazooka subwoofer speaker\, part drum\, and part bellowing feedback loop. Supplier of urban noise this wooden sub-woofer will be the splintered connection to indigenous past. A exploration in movement called Corporeal Reformation will occupy the rest of this space. Inner woven reaction to time\, space voice and body\, will be aided by the pulse of the sub\, riding on witnesses inside a WhiteBox as landscape with their collective voices to activate our collective memory. \nTrying to reclaim some sort of indigenous or forgotten belief or behavior is close to impossible when these things have been destroyed or co-opted. Where does one turn if their past does not exist to borrow from it? Sometimes the things that the colonizer has stereotyped as “indigenous” become the only symbols on which to connect to\, either in act of dissent or in hopes of connection. This will further convolute this already broken system. This semiotics is also the way the colonizers themselves find ways of connecting to more holistic ways of existing. Unearthing resources and the destruction of land not only uproots the indigenous people but also further removes the colonizer from forgotten memories of coexisting\, not occupation of this land and its inhabitants (this includes plants and animals). \nTo add a bit more texture and dimensionality to this night I welcome Mike Meanstreetz (drums) and Z. Vidal (loop effects). Please come bath in this wave of sound\, be our landscape that we have forgotten. Share in the collective vocalization. I hope to remember something I forgotten many lives over. \n  \nThis event is part of the DecolonizeLA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs.

SUMMARY:Decolonize LA - Window to the Inside
DESCRIPTION:From Habeus Corpus to prison art practice\, Liberated Lifers will lead a discussion about our experiences within California’s State Prisons. \nTuesday May 10th\nFellowship & Food: 6pm\nPresentation&Discussion: 7-9pm\nHRLA: 410 Cottage Home St\, LA 90012\nPart of the DecolonizeLA Art Exhibition: May 1-11 \nThe Liberated Arts Collective is a collaboration between formerly incarcerated people serving term-to-life sentences\, teaching artists and writers. We are invested in art as a tool for personal and community liberation\, cultural expression and social change. Formerly incarcerated people come to the collective with a range of art experience and interests; some began our art practice years before being incarcerated\, some started making art in prison\, while others haven’t called our work “art” until now. While incarcerated\, many of us used art as a tool to make money\, remain sane in solitary confinement or steer away from prison politics. Now on the outside\, we use art to recognize our power and potential\, engage in leadership\, build notoriety\, express our concerns and our solutions\, and exhibit our progress and our evolution. Through art\, we gain a platform for our collective voices\, speak to younger generations\, address the “crisis on the streets” and educate the public about our experiences in California State Prisons and the probation system. \nThe Liberated Arts Collective grew out of and is a project of the Youth Justice Coalition’s “Welcome Home LA\,” a re-entry project and support system built by formerly incarcerated people in order to bring others home. Welcome Home was a direct response to the lack of community-input in L.A. County’s and the state’s Reentry plans. The collective is owned and operated by liberated lifers and other formerly incarcerated people and serves as democratic space for the uplifting of the collective’s members\, their wisdom and vision. This event is part of HRAL’s DecolonizeLA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs. \nFor more info or to participate\, contact us:\nLiberatedArtsCollective@gmail.com\n(213) 536-1911 \n \n

SUMMARY:DecolonizeLA - Critical Resistance LA
DESCRIPTION:Join the LA No More Jails Coalition on Mother’s Day! \nWe will be at the Lynwood Women’s Jail (Century Regional Detention Facility)\, hosting a rally and interactive event to build opposition to the proposed women’s jail in Lancaster and LA County’s $2.3 Billion Dollar Jail Plan. This year is a pivotal year for the jail fight\, as construction on the new women’s jail is slated to begin early next year. The LA No More Jails Coalition has been fighting LA County’s jail plan through its various forms since 2011\, and we are looking to build support and amplify the voices of those most directly impacted by the construction of a new jail. For our annual Mother’s Day event\, we will have interactive stations for families and supporters to write messages to their loved ones locked inside\, with a giant Mother’s Day Card to sign\, an instax photo booth for portraits of visitors to take home and post in the Mother’s Day card\, and an arts and crafts station where children can make their own cards. The LA No More Jails Coalition intends to create a space of warmth\, love\, and resistance at what is normally an intensely violent and sad space for families. We want to build community to be able to support people with imprisoned loved ones while also building opposition to the jail plan by holding space to talk about community alternatives to the policing and prisons that ravage our communities and take away our loved ones. \n \nThis event is part of the DecolonizeLA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs.

SUMMARY:DecolonizeLA: Un-casting colonization from our dreams\, casting spells\, igniting our decolonized collective dreams through dance and plants w/ Charmaine Bee + Joy
DESCRIPTION:Join us to co-create change collectively as well as release restrictive & oppressive structures that limit expansion. Together let’s un-cast the nightmares of colonization! \nThis workshop/performance will consist of movement that co-creates ritual space\, use of herbs to support collective spell casting/ un-casting and to invoke and activate individual and collective dreams. Together we will interrogate how we can use our dream world as a space to activate our intentions. \nWe come to this work acknowledging the history\, psychological\, economic\, physiological impact of colonization on people Indigenous to the Americas as well as people of African heritage and the impact on our sacred practices of spell casting and un-casting. This work addresses “decolonizing” as a recognition and grounding in community to connect to the ever – evolving work (of our ancestors). Some of this work includes practices that have been passed on such as working with intention to manifest our desires. We are engaging in this work in order to assess/ release the oppressive structures that impact our growth and expansion from the micro to the macro level in the everyday. \nWe will bring our experience in herbalism/ plant medicine\, dream interpretation\, and healing movement work into the space to support the work of spell/un-casting. Be ready to move\, walk through the city\, dream & dance. Bring a lunch\, water\, and your intentions to decolonize L.A \nThis event is part of the Decolonize LA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs.

SUMMARY:DecolonizeLA : Suzanne Kite's "Sources" and "Some Numbers"
DESCRIPTION:Kite in collaboration with James Hurwitz and Devin Ronneberg present: \n“Sources or ( x ) x + [ ( x ) x { x } x x ] { x } +” is a performance that takes a body through an environmental simulation of the Oglala Lakota cosmologyscape\, shouldering the burden of 4 female Oglala characters who have shaped space/time. The piece includes 12 sculptures\, animation\, sound\, video\, carbon fiber\, clothing\, and movement\, developed from an obsessive hyper-structure derived from “bad” source books that attempt to qualify Oglala religion into simplified charts. This piece explores the relationship between the body and the entanglement between lies\, fiction\, oral history\, mythology\, ethnography\, and Oglala religion. \n“Some Numbers” is a lecture/performance that asks the question “WHY?” “Why are there so few Indigenous working artists? Why are there so few Indigenous art school graduates?” \nThis event is part of the Decolonize LA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs.

SUMMARY:Decolonize LA - Michelada Think Tank
DESCRIPTION:“No nipple is that dark.” \nHave you had a moment in art school when you realized you can’t even talk about the work because you have to explain/defend/validate your own body/experience/everything? \nMTT member Shefali Mistry\, as part of her graduate Public Practice thesis project\, has conducted a series of interviews on the experiences of artists of color in graduate school. From these discussions\, Michelada Think Tank (MTT) continues the “PoC Survival Guide” project with a public conversation about higher education and art school. Is formal education even necessary? What if you choose a formal education? For people of color who decide to go to art school\, how do you survive? How do you thrive as an artist when the curriculum and the community don’t reflect your lived experience and your practice? \nJoin us for a think tank style generative discussion on not only what issues we face\, but WHAT CAN BE DONE. How do we advocate for our own education within these institutions? Where do we try to implement change in curriculum and hiring practices? How do we create large scale structural change to move the condition of PoC artists beyond surviving and into thriving? We know this labor shouldn’t only be our burden\, but can we do it to ensure a better education for the generations behind us? \nThis event is part of the Decolonize LA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs. \nMore about the Survival Guide project:\nAre we so busy surviving that we forget to be radical? \nIn summer 2015\, Michelada Think Tank initiated the “PoC Survival Guide” project\, posing the question\, “If there was a PoC Survival Guide for Artists of Color\, What Topics Would You Want it to Cover?” The project was a tongue-in-cheek\, but critical exploration of survival under a framework of institutional racism in the arts. Through a summer residency at LACE (as part of Chats About Change) and a series of think tanks\, MTT brought people together to talk about survival strategies for artists of color working in a predominantly white art world. \nMichelada Think Tank is a group of socially conscious artists who are interested in hosting conversations\, creating safe places and opening up opportunities to connect and build relationships between people of color (PoC). Through think tank sessions\, MTT creates networks of socially-engaged /community artists interested in creative ways of making social change happen.

SUMMARY:DecolonizeLA
DESCRIPTION:Between May 3 and May 11th\, HRLA will host an exhibition of work from artists who applied to the DecolonizeLA call for proposals. The work will be shown in the lobby\, and second floor space. This project is made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs. \nOpen daily 12pm – 6pm till May 11th \nIn addition to events listed here on HRLA’s websites and happening at HRLA\, DecolonizeLA’s calendar includes off-site events: the annual Retomemos La Noche on April 22\, and the Critical Resistance’s Mother’s Day (May 8) intervention against Lynwood women’s jail\, and a QT*POC Run on May 20. \n*There will also be a series of performances\, discussions and events (between April 22 and May 20)\, please check this site and the DecolonizeLA facebook page for more info. \n**download / view the Decolonozie_the_White_Box zine as pdf \nArtists in the exhibition: \nIsabel Avila\nCyrstal Liu – The Crop Project\nAvelardo Ibarra\nLiberated Arts Collective\nRaze the White Box: A think tank of change \nAbout Artists: \nIsabel Avila\nAs society increasingly moves towards the commodification of all aspects of life\, I find it personally enriching to look at contrasting values such as “the sacred” through the art process. In my recent installation\, Shifts in Perspective\, I present images that address cultural preservation and confront the sacred through beliefs and practices of traditional Native ways of gathering medicine (sacred plants). The viewer is informed and confronted with the idea that a supernatural happening may have interrupted the photographic process and resulted in the light leaks on the film. \nCrystal Liu – The Crop Project\nThe Crop Project’s exhibition includes an installation of the cornfield’s digging process and found objects from underground. Join members of The Crop Project on May 11\, 7:30-9:30 p.m for some corn snacks and drinks! \nThe Crop Project is a public art piece that invites people to grow corn in USC Roski School of Art and Design from April- July 2016. The project includes a 15-square-foot corn field\, educational corn growing workshop\, corn cooking lessons and a group harvest event in June when corn fully matures. Through a group effort of cultivating a staple food\, corn\, and sharing the unprocessed product in a city that consumes but rarely grows corn\, we can be closer to nature\, and closer to each other. \nLiberated Arts Collective\nThe Liberated Arts Collective is a collaboration between recently\nliberated term-to-life prisoners a teaching artist\, invested in art as\na tool for personal liberation\, cultural expression and social change.\nFormerly incarcerated members come to the collective with a range of\nart experience and interests; some of us began our art practice years\nbefore being incarcerated\, some began making art in prison\, while\nothers haven’t made art previously. While on the inside\, we used art\nas a tool to make money\, remain sane in solitary or steer away from\nprison politics. Now on the outside\, we use art to recognize our\npower & potential\, engage in leadership\, build notoriety and lift each\nother up. Through art we gain a platform for our collective voices\,\nspeak to younger generations\, address the “crisis on the streets” and\neducate the public about our experiences in California State Prisons\nand the probation system. \nRaze the White Box: A think tank of change\nI wear this fools hat connected to the others. Others following as such family can only do. Blessed are the fools that know no ill. Bless the suffering that they don’t know the root of… \nThe Act of decolonization is a complex action. This is problematic since we are all now part colonized and colonizers despite our heritage. The act of colonizing has stayed alive in the co-opted ideas of free spirit and sewing your wild oats. This philosophy is now inherent in the culture of the west\, the culture of north America and of course the culture of the golden coast. What is this culture? It is a culture of searching for new land to conquer and experience ignoring its consequences. Swung at the opposite end of a club\, the reaction to a colonized state is a mirrored response. Knee jerk flawed and beautiful such is human thought. \nAvelardo Ibarra

SUMMARY:DecolonizeLA - The Hag
DESCRIPTION:The Hag\, “worship\, brainstorm sesh + pizza party” \nThe Hag is suspicious of the myth of progress. We are inviting like-minded individuals\, also wary of the propagation of expensive\, exclusive “arts & culture initiatives\,” to discuss their own qualms with top-down hierarchies at the institutional level\, as well as to worship at the altar of fuck all. We will provide pizza & snacks in exchange for your ideas: how to publish\, how to intervene\, how to propose & push forward alternatives\, how to realize our fantasies for decolonizing museums & galleries in Los Angeles\, and beyond. This event is part of DecolonizeLA\, and is made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs. \nThe Hag (est. 2016) is a guerrilla arts publishing coven founded to crush the enemies of women’s liberation in the arts.

SUMMARY:DecolonizeLA - Song of Eurydice

SUMMARY:Friends Series #3: A Conversation Between James Benning and Sharon Lockhart
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Lockhart received her MFA from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 1993. She has been a Radcliffe fellow\, a Guggenheim fellow\, and a Rockefeller fellow. Her films and photographic work have been widely exhibited at international film festivals and in museums\, cultural institutions\, and galleries around the world. She is currently an associate professor at the University of Southern California’s Roski School of Fine Arts. \nJames Benning: “I was born in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin\, during World War II in a German working class community that sent its sons to fight their cousins. My father worked on the assembly line for a heavy industry corporation that was then building landing gear for the U.S. military. Later he became a self-taught building designer. I played baseball for the first 20 years of my life receiving a degree in mathematics while playing on a baseball scholarship. I dropped out of graduate school to deny my military deferment (my friends were dying in Viet Nam) and worked with migrant workers in Colorado teaching their children how to read and write. Later I helped start a commodities food program that fed the poor in the Missouri Ozarks. At the age of 33 I received an MFA from the University of Wisconsin where I studied with David Bordwell. For the next four years I taught filmmaking at Northwestern University\, University of Wisconsin\, University of Oklahoma and the University of California San Diego. In 1980 I moved to lower Manhattan making films with the aid of grant and German Television money. After eight years in New York I moved to Val Verde\, California\, where I currently reside teaching film/video at California Institute of the Arts. In the past twenty-five years I have completed fourteen feature length films that have shown in many different venues across the world.” \nOrganized by LACA and Human Resources

SUMMARY:Alex Romania: Jerk
DESCRIPTION:“Jerk” created and performed by Alex Romania 7:30pm\, $10 suggested \nThis physically vulnerable choreography frames the male body between violence and pleasure — a microphone is bound to the body and swung from the pelvis evoking forms in the realm of BDSM\, pornography\, athletics\, games\, and flagellation. Through genital hypnosis and rigorous discomfort\, this is a dance of (narcissistic) pleasure and (quiet) longing\, (self) mutilation and (self) care. A dance to flatten and complexify the male body\, to tenderize the flesh\, to move beyond and to newly inhabit — a phallic solo to recompose the phallus. \nWith an opening performance by Edward Sharp\n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nAlex Romania is a multidisciplinary performance-maker\, organizer\, andteacher based in NYC who has taught and shown work nationally and internationally. Besides creating performance work\, Alex organizes events with dance and performance artists in NYC (such as the ‘Get Your A$ in CLA$’ class series at Abrons Arts Center)\, holds irregular discussions and events through his collective journalism platform INVISIBLE ARTISTS (a resource to approach sustainability in the arts)\, teaches teens how to devise original performance\, video-documents live performance\, and practices Thai Yoga. Alex has performed in works by Kathy Westwater\, Catherine Galasso\, Andy de Grout\, Eddie Peake\, Jacob Slominski\, Ishmael Houston-Jones\, Simone Forti\, Steve Paxton and has collaborated with a handful of performance art collectives\, amongst other artists. \n\nEdward Sharp: \nMy fashions withstand mutiny\, as in applicants to thermodynamics\, humors bodied\, andromache mined– mutation thatches bridges aborting charon in physiology foretold bottomless immovably (representing phylum exemplification\, being outlaws of barbarian\, resolutions to theological pageant\, and so on) andromeda therein longfellow terminates (stalls\, choppy\, memorized\, textually\, etch).

SUMMARY:Telémachos Alexiou: The Culture of Refusal
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION HOURS\nThursday\, April 14\,  6-9pm\nFriday\, April 15\,  12-6pm and 8-11pm\nSaturday\, April 16\, 12-6pm \nSCREENING: Queen Antigone followed by conversation between Alexiou and Zackary Drucker\nFriday\, April 15\, 8-11pm \nTelémachos Alexiou is an artist whose medium is pictures. They can move as videos\, they might flicker as movies or just attempt to freeze a moment for a posterity they will never know – but they all share a power whose intentions aim straight for the heart and mind.\nIn his films – most notably “Queen Antigone” (Germany\, 2014)\, a road movie about contemporary Greece that is as political as it is personal in the way that only tragedies can be – a world of symbols and allusions clash with reality. Hostile to the lyricism of truth\, preferring to remain addicted to its own legends\, life becoming a teetering diva whose self-inflicted demise becomes a final act as necessary as it is unavoidable.\nThis need to reach catharsis\, to find closure\, to achieve conclusion is a constant theme in the work of Alexiou – no statements are left half-said\, everything and everyone has a defiant stance in the play of life and death: sex\, relationships\, emotions\, thought\, wants\, needs\, frustrations and happiness are all equal on a stage that dares you to ignore the spectacle.\nFull of bodies bearing witness\, his work is fiercely confrontational\, in both format and content – brutally direct video installations document the exuberant uniqueness of icons such as Vaginal Crème Davis or the artist and curator Dimitris Antonitsis; experimental in subject but crystal-clear in form photographs associate random visions that lurk between fetish and lyricism; texts violate the reader with ancient rage and contemporary seduction; everything about his visuals is meticulously meant to explode in the retina like a burst of a strong yet sophisticated mind-altering substance\, subtle in effect yet effective in distortion of consciousness.\nTelémachos Alexiou is a next generation artist\, discussing his temptation to exist beyond the sarcasm and idolatry that has been dominating the main discourses in the contemporary art world – he arrives with a declaration of belief whose self-definition is as defiant as the ancient culture his work is a part of.\nThe culture of refusal to compromise one’s freedom.  \nPanagiotis aka Otis Chatzistefanou (Mr.)\nEditorial Director for www.nakedbutsafe.com \n———————————————————– \nQueen Antigone\nTelémachos Alexiou’s second feature length film “Queen Antigone” is a sumptuously visualized allegory of the current\, dismal\, geopolitical situation of his fatherland. Framed in exquisitely aestheticized vignettes and fusing allusions that refract references from Sophocles to Gregory J. Markopoulos and from Michelangelo Antonioni to Jack Smith\, the scenario of this intense and stylish movie follows a disenfranchised young woman and her teenage brother as they desperately attempt to escape the double burden of historical inheritance and contemporary bankruptcy. An elegy about the spiritual breakdown of a nation\, the narrative resonates with barely contained rage\, unfolds at a meditative pace and ultimately ignites the screen with a volatile combination of existential emergency\, languid lyricism and spectacularly modern photography. \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nTelémachos Alexiou is a twenty-something filmmaker and artist who\, during his childhood and teens\, received formal ballroom dance training and won several national titles. At the age of 17\, he moved to London to study Communications and Visual Culture at the London Metropolitan University and three years later to Berlin\, where he studied Film Theory at the Freie Universität and started working as a filmmaker and artist. His diverse body of work includes narrative feature films\, media installations\, performance art and photography. Among other places\, his work has been hosted by the Berlin IFF\, the Thessaloniki IFF\, the Arsenal Institute for Film and Video Art in a mini-retrospective of his films\, the Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin\, the HAU Berlin\, the Los Angeles Outfest\, Queer Lisboa 16\, etc. \nApart from his own films\, Alexiou has worked with other filmmakers and artists\, including Bruce LaBruce\, Zackary Drucker and Vaginal Davis. \nQueen Antigone (2014)\nDirected by Telémachos Alexiou\nProduced by Jürgen Brüning & Telémachos Alexiou\n93 min. \nWith:\nAthena Mathiou\nKristof Lamp\nAlexandros Vardaxoglou\nGiorgos Makris\nAristotelis Varytimidis\nPanayotis Evangelidis\nKostas Alexiou\nPepi Tinoglou \nMusic: Sergei Rachmaninoff\nFILM TRAILER

SUMMARY:Chantal Akerman: Contre L'Oubli/Against Oblivion
DESCRIPTION:An evening of rare filmic treats\, a bar\, an accordionist\, a Yididish interlude\, and a reception to follow. Presented as part of Chantal Akerman: Contre L’Oubli/Against Oblivion\n– with a lecturette by film maker and programmer Courtney Stephens \nLE 15/08 (1973)\nSet in the wet heat and suspended time of a 15th of August (France’s main religious holiday in the summer\, literally everything stops)\, Chris\, a young woman from Finland has just arrived in Paris. Staying with a friend of Chantal Akerman\, she utters a long\, intimate monologue. She is filmed in static shots which monitor her unspoken anguish and idleness\, moving from one room to the next. The young woman\, through the repetition of empty and haunting daily gestures\, becomes a pure “existential” figure. \n42 mins \nBRUSSELS TRANSIT (1982\, Dir: Samy Szlingerbaum)\n“Brussels-Transit\,” which was produced by Chantal Akerman\, was the first Yiddish-language film made in Europe in 30 years. Written and directed by Samy Szlingerbaum (who co-directed 15/08)\, it is about his parents’ search for a home in the wake of World War II. It is an austere\, death-haunted work\, \, made all the more so by the knowledge that it would be Szlingerbaum’s only feature; he died of AIDS in 1986. (adapted from The Jewish Week)\nShort clip \nAGAINST OBLIVION (1991\, Dir: Chantal Akerman)\nA short piece commissioned by Amnesty International\, Against Oblivion (Contre l’oubli) is about the murder of Salvadorean union activist Febe Elisabeth Velásquez.\n3 mins \nPresented as part of: Chantal Akerman: Contre L’Oubli/Against Oblivion\, the retrospective organized throughout Los Angeles in collaboration with Los Angeles Filmforum\, Cinefamily\, Veggie Cloud\, Fahrenheit and Human Resources. Program organized in collaboration with Paradise Films and Cinémathèque royale de Belgique and presented with the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and Institut Français\, and with the support of the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Belgium. \nAccordion accompaniment provided by Andy Favre!\nSpecial thanks to Kalyane aka La Collectionneuse!

We will continue a conversation about changes in Chinatowns across the country and specific changes we are seeing in Los Angeles Chinatown. Attendees will also have the opportunity to become more involved with CCED and get to know Chinatown better. We look forward to an engaging and fruitful conversation with people who care about Chinatowns across the U.S. and Canada. \n**Film will have Chinese and English subtitles when needed and the discussion will have Cantonese\, Mandarin\, Spanish interpretation**  \nAccessibility info: Human Resources’ front entrance has one step\, we have a folding wheelchair ramp.

The community’s oldest and newest members offer their intimate perspectives on the shifting landscape as they reflect on change\, memory and legacy. Night and day\, a neon sign that reads “EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT” looms over Chinatown. Everything is going to be alright. The big question is—for whom?

SUMMARY:KCHUNG Presents: BRUJAJA
DESCRIPTION:KCHUNG presents BRUJAJA\, A Gathering of Witches \n“First\, there has been the desire to rethink the development of capitalism from a feminist viewpoim\, while\, at the same time\, avoiding the limits of a “women’s history” separated from that of the male part of the working class. The title\, Caliban and the Witch\, inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest\, reflects this effort. In my interpretation\, however\, Caliban represents not only the anti-colonial rebel whose struggle still resonates in contemporary Caribbean literature\, but is a symbol for the world proletariat and\, more specifically\, for the proletarian body as a terrain and instrument of resistance to the logic of capitalism. Most important\, the figure of the witch\, who in The Tempest is confined to a remote background\, in this volume is placed at the center-stage\, as the embodiment of a world of female subjects that capitalism had to destroy: the heretic\, the healer\, the disobedient wife\, the woman who dared to live alone\, the obeha woman who poisoned the master’s food and inspired the slaves to revolt.” – Silvia Federici\, Caliban and the Witch\, 2004  \nBRUJAJA celebrates the witch as a site for resistance and magick\, rebellion and healing.  \nWith performances by: Sarah Gail Armstrong\, Electric Sound Bath\, Rafa Esparza\, Glitzer\, MRK\, The Oracle of Los Angeles\, and vōx\, with KCHUNG DJS  \n*BRUJAJA is a part of KCHUNG Lounge artist in residence\, Christy Roberts Berkowitz’s: The Center for Strategic Magick and Healing Sh*t. March 18th – April 30th. Email ChristyRoberts.Art@gmail.com for a complete schedule of events. \nCapitalism Exorcism ritual performance. Photo by Nikki Darling.
