Short Films by Ursula Biemann In-Person
One-time campus screening of 3 short films exploring environmental crises in Ecuador, Bangladesh, and the Atlantic Ocean by contemporary artist Ursula Biemann: Subatlantic (11 min), Deep Weather (9 min), and Forest Law (38 min). Join students Laurel McLaughlin (PhD candidate) and MacK Somers (HC '20) for a conversation after the viewing about the work in relation to the current exhibition, Nature so-called...
Forest Law is a collaboration with Brazilian architect Paulo Tavares and draws from research carried out in the oil-and-mining frontier of the Ecuadorian Amazon.
Deep Weather comprises ‘Carbon Geologies,' set in the tar sands of the boreal forests of Northern Canada, and ‘Hydro Geographies,’ set in the near-permanently flood-threatened Bangladesh.
Subatlantic juxtaposes the science of geology and climatology and human history with an understated touch of science fiction.
Snacks will be provided.
