Give as a gift
Small-gauge tactility reveals interlocking patterns of landscape, activism, and everyday life, highlighting how meaning emerges through relationships. Energies of the George Floyd Uprising, Anishinaabe Seven Fires Prophecy, and Dakota 38+2 Memorial Ride are transmitted through the intimate conversations and kinetic montage of Surrendur. Bay Area Sampler Quilt makes an in-camera mosaic to mimic the form of a cherished social ritual. Images are joined into forms at once fragile and enduring. They offer a way of seeing community not as a destination, but as something continually woven into being.
How can built-in camera techniques, repetitions through contact printing, dying processes and other experiments employed mimic what a quilter might do in assembling their work? How can each frame be like a quilt block, expressing a different register of creative expression? And lastly, how can a film act as a container, holding both experimental forms, memories, and a documentation of social relations?
