SUMMARY:Entire Nations Are Built on Fairy Tales: Larissa Sansour and Søren Lind
DESCRIPTION:New multi-media exhibition explores memory\, history\, and grief through science fiction and cinematic time travel.   \n\n\n\nOn view in Emerson College’s Media Art Gallery\, February 4 – March 22\, 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBOSTON\, MA (January 15\, 2025) – Emerson Contemporary is proud to present Entire Nations Are Built on Fairy Tales\, featuring multi-channel films and a dramatic sculptural installation by Larissa Sansour and Søren Lind. On view in our Media Art Gallery are As If No Misfortune Had Occurred in the Night \, an Arabic-language opera on loss\, mourning and inherited trauma accompanied by a dramatic sculptural installation and a two-channel science fiction film\, In Vitro. A special one-night screening of the science fiction film In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain (2016) and their latest documentary film Familiar Phantoms (2023) will augment the exhibition. \n\n\n\nIn much of their practice\, Sansour and Lind use fiction as an imaginary mode to speak to the present in a manner that diffracts the highly charged political discourse on the historic and ongoing crisis in the Middle East. By ‘time traveling’ to both a faraway past and fictionalised futures\, this exhibition explores how cinematic storytelling can open up new spaces for empathy and understanding of a shared human experience. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is generously funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramming \n\n\n\nFilm Screening + Artist Conversation  \n\n\n\nCome view In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain (2016) and Familiar Phantoms (2023). Filmmakers Larissa Sansour and Søren Lind will be in conversation with Emerson Assistant Professor and Filmmaker Julia Halperin afterwards.  \n\n\n\nFilm screening is co-presented with the RPM Film Festival and the Salem Film Fest. \n\n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday\, February 4\, 7-9:30pm. Doors open at 6:30pm.\n\n\n\nLocation: Bright Family Screening Room\, 559 Washington St. Boston\, Ma\, 02111\n\n\n\nRSVP required for tickets: EVENTBRITE\n\n\n\n\nArtist Reception + Conversation with Larissa Sansour\, Søren Lind and exhibition curator Dr. Leonie Bradbury  \n\n\n\n\nDate: Wednesday\, February 5\, 5-7pm.\n\n\n\nLocation: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, Ma 02111\n\n\n\n\nAbout the artists: Larissa Sansour and Soren Lind are an artist duo who have collaborated on various films.
