Acts of resistance in Pinochet’s Chile come to life in a chemical bath. Darkroom routines resonate in the rhythms of a Chinese-American restaurant kitchen. Distinct image formats and processes catalyze intergenerational closeness. Beyond image-making, conversations, both casual and staged, make space to process and preserve the memory of our elders.

Program:

refrigerator hum (2025, US, 15’)

jade wong

Una sombra oscilante (An Oscillating Shadow) (2024, CL/AR/FR, 77’)
