Black Motion Pictures Series: October 14, 2020: Artist and designer Kelly Walters November 13, 2020: Film curator and programmer Jheanelle Brown December 16, 2020: Performance artist Sola Bamis Organized by artist Gabrielle Civil, “Black Motion Pictures” is a series of Zoom interviews with radical Black creatives about race, performance, and representation conducted between June 2–14, 2020. The series is free to watch and will be streamed through redcat.org. Spanning a broad range of topics—Black punk music, heritage sites, re-enactments, queer ancestors— the series launches Friday with artist Anna Martine Whitehead. In the conversations, Civil asks "Who are you today and what do you do? Can you think of a performance--Black or otherwise--whatever that means--that has meant a lot to you? How is Black performance marked or archived? How does Black performance relate to time (to historicity or ephemerality)? What is a Black performance still? How does Black performance matter? What is a Black motion picture?" The series continues this fall with: Film curator and programmer Jheanelle Brown on Nov. 13 Performance artist Sola Bamis on Dec. 16 Tune in to “Black Motion Pictures” here: redcat.org/event/black-motion-pictures
