SUMMARY:World Cinema: Foreign Film Fridays
DESCRIPTION:Every Friday we’ll be having a cozy movie night in the gallery featuring some amazing foreign films curated by our very own film-buff Carlos Steward! \nMarch 28th we’ll be watching Joshua Marston’s 2004 Ecuadorian film Maria Full of Grace (101m): “Seventeen-year-old Colombian Maria (Catalina Sandino Moreno) is desperate: pregnant and with a large family to care for\, she’s forced to leave a demanding job after an altercation with her boss. Needing work as soon as possible\, she encounters charming Franklin (John Álex Toro)\, who offers her a dangerous job as a drug mule. With cocaine pellets in her stomach\, Maria flies to New York for the drug drop-off\, but finds her new line of work may be far riskier than it initially seemed.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkdFcCtrFzI \nThe movie starts at 7PM sharp; B.Y.O. snacks/drinks!

SUMMARY:A Show of Refusal
DESCRIPTION:Live Experimental Multimedia Concert…\nFeaturing music/sounds/poetry/film by: \nthe unknown sound collective \nZen Sutherland with Mongo Sondo \nCyn Los with Counterfeit Circus \nTOYS NOYS \nEmily Hay\n…and more \nJoin us for an immersive one-night pop-up residency event titled Refusal. This program brings together local poets\, sound artists\, and performers for an evening of experimental sound and visual work alongside the release of new material by the unknown sound collective. The event will feature a sequence of short performances of live voice\, field recordings\, with minimal instrumentation with glitch-based video composed from local footage and still imagery. Through rupture\, fragmentation\, the works treat silence\, error\, and discontinuity as absence and as generative acts of resistance. Rather than offering unified narratives or representational closure\, the performances invite open-ended\, participatory encounters grounded in uncertainty and critical reflection. \nThis approach is informed by epistemic humility\, drawing on Douglas C. Youvan’s framework to foreground the limits of knowledge and the ethics of not-knowing. In parallel\, Carole McGranahan’s articulation of refusal as a withdrawal from dominant political and narrative structures guides the project’s orientation toward disengagement as a meaningful practice. Within this context\, glitch occurs as both aesthetic and method\, where sonic and visual disruption become  negotiation\, critique\,  creative possibility. \nThe audience will encounter an immersive\, durational environment that emphasizes dialogue\, attentiveness\, as well as the productive potential of failure. The event is designed to foster exchange among local experimental thinkers and artists. \nThis concert is a prelude to the experimental program of the Twin Rivers Media Festival coming to Flood Gallery in September. \nDonation-based admission. Light refreshments available. \n
