SUMMARY:In Conversation: Artists Jack Gruman and Logan Puleikis of VHF Studio will be talking with Malic Amalya
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 19\, Artists talk 6:30- 7:30pm\, 6pm doors –  \n\n\n\nIn Conversation: Artists Jack Gruman and Logan Puleikis of VHF Studio will talk with Malic Amalya\, Assistant Professor of Experimental Media and Film Production\, about the conceptual underpinnings of their installation “Narcissus look back: and they love you\,” that is currently on view at the Emerson Media Art Gallery until December 13th. \n\n\n\nThis embodied\, multi-sensory experience with a camp aesthetic explores loneliness as a collective experience in our current moment. They will discuss the tenuous and often shifting relationship between spectator and performer\, loops of identity\, and the duality of being haunted/haunting. With Malic Amalaya\, the artists will discuss major influences on their piece\, the political and moral values intrinsic to their work\, and the challenges they’ve faced making and relating to art at this socio-political moment. \n\n\n\n\nVHF STUDIO is a new media collective founded by artists Jack Gruman and Logan Puleikis. As collaborators they make genre-defying installation work\, blurring the boundaries of “low” and “high” art. They pull inspiration from the queer club scene\, haunted houses\, and popular media to create high concept large-scale multi-channel video and sound installations. \n\n\n\n\nModerated by Dr. Leonie Bradbury \n\n\n\nLocation: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, MA

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Sue Murad and Shana Dumont Garr
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 18 from 6:30 – 7:30pm\, 6pm doors open \n\n\n\nArtist Sue Murad shares about her ASSEMBLE walking tour with Curator Shana Dumont Garr. Based in the Boston Common\, Murad’s part of the Hidden Histories walking tour is inspired by the archival photos of people spending time together in the park from the nineteenth century to the present. Murad created a series of prompts to celebrate the right to peacefully assemble and create a temporal micro-culture for each group during the tour. \n\n\n\nLocation: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, MA \n\n\n\nSue Murad\, ASSEMBLE\, Reimagined Historic Walking Tours in Boston Common\, 2025.\n\n\n\nShana Dumont Garr is a contemporary art curator\, writer\, and educator based in Greater Boston. She is a curator at Emerson Contemporary and a professor in the Department of Visual & Media Arts at Emerson College. She is also curating the independent project NO SLEEPING\, a nomadic\, participatory series of performances by Sue Murad and Deb Todd Wheeler at select historic houses in Massachusetts. Garr is a doctoral student at the Institute of Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts. She earned her MA in Art History from Boston University and her BA in Creative Writing and Art from Colby College in Waterville\, ME. \n\n\n\nSue Murad responds to culture through an intuitive\, sensory engagement with everyday objects\, often in the public or private places they inhabit. Through a combination of attention\, study\, and play\, she may alter\, arrange\, and choreograph a subject\, or set up situations where change and chance happen without direct contact\, such as a subject melting\, falling\, or sliding. She is drawn to both semblance and difference\, and the strange and surreal synthesis that can occur with comparison and contrast. Disregarding notions of usefulness\, common meaning\, and prescribed narratives\, these formal and philosophical explorations feed her interdisciplinary practice of performance\, installation\, sculpture\, collage\, and film.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Artists Margaux Crump and Ash Eliza Williams **on ZOOM**
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 6 *On ZOOM* 12:00 – 1:00 PM \n\n\n\nIn Conversation: Learn how artists Margaux Crump and Ash Eliza Williams collaborate with non-human beings to create artwork. Meeting LINK . \n\n\n\nAsh and Margaux consider the natural world an active contributor of aesthetic meaning. They will each describe their current art-making ideas and processes and discuss ideas raised by the exhibitions in which they are showing.  \n\n\n\nThis is a joint program between Emerson Contemporary and Sala 1\, Rome\, Italy. Ash Eliza Williams is a visual artist showing in Learning with Trees\, an exhibition at Sala 1 curated by Martina Tanga. Margaux Crump is a visual artist showing in a sentient land; artistic alliances with forests\, beetles\, salt\, and air\, curated by Shana Dumont Garr and opening at Emerson Contemporary\, Media Art Gallery in January 2026. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMargaux Crump\, photo by Feast Day / @FeastDayStudio\n\n\n\nMargaux Crump is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher exploring the entanglements between magic\, ecology\, and the spiritual Imagination. Born in Houston\, TX\, she spent her childhood playing in gardens where she was steeped in ancestral fairy lore. These experiences wove quietly through the background of her work\, until she returned to Houston after earning her MFA in studio art from Washington University in St. Louis. With a renewed interest in the folklore and myths she grew up with\, she immersed herself in the study of esotericism and ecology. She is currently investigating the phenomena of the unseen\, from the microscopic to the mythic worlds that surround us. Taking form primarily through sculpture\, photography\, painting\, and ritual\, her work traces threads of the mythic\, magical\, and imaginal across disciplines and histories in search of how they inhabit and trouble the present. \n\n\n\nAsh Eliza Williams\n\n\n\nAsh Eliza Williams grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains in SW Virginia. Ash is a painter and multidisciplinary artist making work about interspecies communication\, non-human language\, and more vibrant methods of connection.  Recent exhibitions include the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Denver\, the Anderson Museum\, and the Chautauqua Institute.  Ash often works with scientists\, including as an artist-in-residence at Shoals Marine Laboratory\, Sitka Center for Art and Ecology\, the Museum of Comparative Zoology\, and Mountain Lake Biological Station as a Lucille Walton Fellow. Ash is currently a 2025 – 2026 Roswell Foundation Artist-in-Residence.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Erik DeLuca\, ¡wénrán zhào! and Amber Vistein
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 4\, Talk from 6:30- 7:30pm\, 6pm doors \n\n\n\nIn Conversation: Join artists Erik DeLuca and Wenran Zhao as they speak with Emerson professor and sound artist Amber Vistein to discuss experimentation\, sonic textures and presence. Moderated by Curator of Special Projects Shana Dumont Garr. \n\n\n\nLocation: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, MA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nErik DeLuca is an artist and experimental musician whose projects respond to place and invite people to listen—both literally and metaphorically. Working across performance\, installation\, text\, and community-based learning\, he explores how power shapes what weremember and how we communicate. His work has been presented at Kling & Bang\, Fieldwork: Marfa\, and the Fall River Museum of Contemporary Art\, and broadcast on Montez Press Radio. His writing appears in Public Art Dialogue\, The Wire\, and Boston Art Review. DeLuca is Associate Professor at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and holds a PhD in Music from the University of Virginia. His ongoing collaborations with the 7ajar School of Creative Research/Resistance in Ramallah continue to shape his practice of listening and learning. \n\n\n\n¡wénrán zhào! is a Boston-based artist working with code\, language\, textiles and technology. Her work augments objects and artifacts with custom software\, exploring the textures of technology and revealing its political and cultural relevance to contemporary societies. She holds an MFA in Digital + Media from Rhode Island School of Design\, with works presented at ISEA\, the Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) Conference\, Taper\, and The New River Journal. She is a recipient of NMC Judson-Morrissey Excellence in New Media Award\, and member of New Inc Year 12.  \n\n\n\nAmber Vistein (they / them) is a composer and sound artist who delves deeply into the poetics of timbre\, texture\, and gesture. Their highly tactile approach to composition works to unearth invisible events\, networks\, and histories by introducing expressive imperfections that expose the submerged complexities of sound\, the labor of its production\, and its fragility. From 2017-19 Amber was a Composition Fellow with the American Opera Project’s Composers and the Voice program. They have also created numerous site-specific sound installations\, including Growth Continuum for the deCordova Museum\, and collaborated with film-video artists Justice and Hogan Seidel on the short films Murmur\, Landscapes\, and Let’s Look at Florida. Amber holds degrees from New College of Florida (BA)\, Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MFA) and Brown University (MA\, PhD).

SUMMARY:Hidden Histories Walking Tour with Curator Shana Dumont Garr
DESCRIPTION:Join Hidden Histories Curator Shana Dumont Garr on a special walking tour to view Kameelah Janan Rasheed\, Sue Murad\, Elisa Hamilton and Clareese Hill’s new public art projects in and around the Boston Common and Beacon Hill neighborhood in Boston\, Ma. We’ll see archival materials and ideas gleaned from old books and maps made public in poetic and slyly rebellious ways. \n\n\n\nFor more about the Hidden Histories exhibition click here. \n\n\n\nLocation: Meet at the Media Art Gallery\, Boston\, MA. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nElisa Hamilton’s project Glimpses of Glapion will present a series of digital vignettes honoring the life and legacy of Louis Glapion. Glapion was a French\, biracial hairdresser and barber who\, together with his friend George Middleton\, built and owned what is now considered the oldest extant house in Beacon Hill\, located at 5 Pinckney Street. While more is known about Middleton\, the artist’s research has uncovered glimpses of Glapion that speak to an interesting and noteworthy life based in Beacon Hill. Hamilton seeks to honor Glapion and enliven curiosity about his lived experiences in our city. The AR experience will be available on Hoverlay and accompanied by a research document designed for educational purposes.  \n\n\n\nClareese Hill’s The Black Boston Dream Oracle is a speculative reimagining of The Complete Fortune Teller and Dream Book written by Chloe Russel\, a 19th-century Black woman from Massachusetts. By blending historical wisdom with future-focused fabulations\, the Black Boston Dream Oracle will provide a unique space for reflection\, healing\, and imagining new possibilities for liberation and collective well-being through early Black feminist thought. The Oracle will be presented as an Extended Reality (XR) experience available on the Hoverlay application\, accompanied by a web-based research document designed for educational purposes. \n\n\n\nSue Murad’s ASSEMBLE: Performance Instructions For Public Arrangement is a participatory performance that reflects on the ways we gather in public space—particularly the historic Boston Common—through the objects we bring with us or discover there. It is a guided\, interactive experience that unfolds across the landscape\, inviting participants into temporary arrangements shaped by memory\, proximity\, and shared attention. The project bears witness to the many generations of people who have gathered together for rest and rallies\, labor and loitering\, play and protest.  \n\n\n\nKameelah J. Rasheed’s public poetry project I have Asked Myself:“Can a Sentence be Haunted? And if so by what?” responds to Boston’s memorial landscape by exploring the layered histories of Boston as discovered in the archives of the Boston Athenaeum. Rasheed gathered marginalia and ornate typefaces from their collection of Boston’s oldest books. These fragments are interwoven or sampled into digital designs to form visual poems to be displayed on digital signage situated around the Boston Common.  \n\n\n\nOur artist centered public programming is supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts. Hidden Histories is funded by the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture’s Un-monument initiative\, supported by a grant from the Mellon Foundation

SUMMARY:Augmented Reality Public Art Walking Tour: Elisa Hamilton and Clareese Hill
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 4\, 2025\, 2-3:30pm \n\n\n\nJoin artists Elisa Hamilton and Clareese Hill on a special artist lead walking tour of their two new public art projects Glimpses of Glapion and The Black Boston Dream Oracle in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Meet at the Boston Common Visitors Center\, 139 Tremont Street\, Boston\, MA.  \n\n\n\nElisa Hamilton’s project Glimpses of Glapion will present a series of digital vignettes honoring the life and legacy of Louis Glapion. Glapion was a French\, biracial hairdresser and barber who\, together with his friend George Middleton\, built and owned what is now considered the oldest extant house in Beacon Hill\, located at 5 Pinckney Street. While more is known about Middleton\, the artist’s research has uncovered glimpses of Glapion that speak to an interesting and noteworthy life based in Beacon Hill. Hamilton seeks to honor Glapion and enliven curiosity about his lived experiences in our city. The AR experience will be available on Hoverlay and accompanied by a research document designed for educational purposes.  \n\n\n\nClareese Hill’s The Black Boston Dream Oracle is a speculative reimagining of The Complete Fortune Teller and Dream Book written by Chloe Russel\, a 19th-century Black woman from Massachusetts. By blending historical wisdom with future-focused fabulations\, the Black Boston Dream Oracle will provide a unique space for reflection\, healing\, and imagining new possibilities for liberation and collective well-being through early Black feminist thought. The Oracle will be presented as an Extended Reality (XR) experience available on the Hoverlay application\, accompanied by a web-based research document designed for educational purposes.

SUMMARY:Sue Murad: ASSEMBLE\, Performance Action on the Boston Common\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Sue Murad\, ASSEMBLE\, Reimagined Historic Walking Tours in Boston Common\, 2025.\n\n\n\nSue Murad’s ASSEMBLE: Performance Instructions For Public Arrangement is a participatory performance that reflects on the ways we gather in public space—particularly the historic Boston Common—through the objects we bring with us or discover there.  \n\n\n\nMurad created a series of prompts inviting people into an embodied experience of the Common\, creating a temporal micro-culture for each tour group in celebration of the right to peacefully assemble. The guided\, interactive experience unfolds across the landscape\, inviting participants into ephemeral arrangements shaped by memory\, proximity\, and shared attention. \n\n\n\nBased in the Boston Common\, Murad’s part of the Hidden Histories walking tour is inspired by the archival photos of people spending time together in the park from the nineteenth century to the present. The project bears witness to the many generations of people who have gathered together for rest and rallies\, labor and loitering\, play and protest. As such\, Murad presents a contemplative investigation of the often overlooked First Amendment right to peacefully assemble.  \n\n\n\nARTIST LED TOUR: Friday\, October 3\, 12-1:30pm.  \n\n\n\n ARTIST LED TOUR: Saturday\, October 4\, 12-1:30pm.  \n\n\n\n ARTIST LED TOUR: Sunday\, October 5\, 12-1:30pm.  \n\n\n\nSelf-guided tours are available with the Hoverlay Augmented Reality application at channel: Un-monument: 1:30-4:00pm or anytime that works for you

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).

SUMMARY:Woop! Woop! What’s That Sound Noise? (Interactive Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Presenting\, a workshop on Hip-Hop culture with Dr. Brent Smith \n\n\n\nBack in 1993\, Hip Hop culture had reached twenty years of life and was boldly making its way through emerging adulthood. Its emcees and other artists challenged boundaries on self-expression\, self-determination\, and even community. The soundtrack of our societies and our lives would come to make way for insights wrapped into Sound of The Police (KRS One)\, U.N.I.T.Y. (Queen Latifah)\, C.R.E.A.M. (Wu Tang Clan)\, Now I Feel Ya (Scarface)\, How Many Emcees (Black Moon)\, Streiht Up Menace (MNC Eiht)\, and more. Hip Hop of 1993\, arguably one of its greatest years\, prompted or provoked us like a siren: Woop! Woop! What’s That Sound Noise?  \n\n\n\nJoin us for a community talk led by Dr. Brent Smith as we explore this topic in relation to our current exhibit\, Louis Cameron: Now is the Time. \n\n\n\nEmerson Contemporary proudly presents Louis Cameron: Now is the Time\, featuring Billboards\, posters and text-based works that explore the civil rights movement\, gun violence and Hip Hop culture. The exhibition features several large-scale\, wall-mounted vinyl text pieces from the ongoing Hip Hop Onomatopoeia series\, a body of work that explores the conversation on gun violence within Hip Hop music.

SUMMARY:Louis Cameron: NOW IS THE TIME
DESCRIPTION:Emerson Contemporary Presents: Billboards\, posters and text-based works in “Louis Cameron: Now Is the Time” Exhibition explores the civil rights movement\, gun violence\, and hip hop culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmerson Contemporary proudly presents Louis Cameron: Now is the Time\, featuring billboards\, posters and text-based works that explore the civil rights movement\, gun violence and hip hop culture. It is underway\, on view through December 14\, 2024 at Emerson College’s Media Art Gallery in the heart of downtown Boston.  \n\n\n\nThe free exhibition features several large-scale\, wall-mounted vinyl text pieces from the ongoing Hip Hop Onomatopoeia series\, a body of work that explores the conversation on gun violence within hip hop music. The works are text based\, using the onomatopoeia of gun shots in hip hop songs as their reference. Cameron focuses on onomatopoeia because of its emotional resonance. Additional works from the Excavation and Displacement series are also on view. \n\n\n\nExclusively for this exhibition\, Cameron designed a limited-edition take home poster titled \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI Got To Have It\, serving as a monument to Hip Hop culture and black music in Boston. It features a poem that peels back the layers of a song to reveal its connections to the history of Black music. Indicative of Hip Hop’s sampling culture\, the poem is composed of a source song and the song titles that it sampled from.  \n\n\n\nNotably\, these sampled songs touch on key points in the lineage of Black music such as James Brown\, the Blues\, and spirituals. The poster addresses urban realities and gun violence\, the self-determination of the Black Power movement of the late 1960s\, and features the title of a song that refers to the African American spirituals such as Wade in the Water. The choice of typeface provides a reference to Hip Hop culture for the presentation of the poem. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, Cameron will present the “I AM… Portfolio” a group of posters addressing the recent violence against Black men and disregard for their lives in America. The title refers to rally calls and protest chants from the 1960s to the present. While violence against Black people is center stage in the current American cultural conversation\, presenting a project by Black male artists – including Sanford Biggers\, Rashid Johnson\, and Shaun Leonardo\, among others – offers valuable insights and counter representation. \n\n\n\nLouis Cameron was born in Xxxxxxxx\, Ohio\, USA; lives and works in Berlin\, Germany.  He earned a B.F.A. from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles\, and an M.F.A. from Tyler School of Art\, Temple University in Philadelphia.https://www.louiscameron.com/

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Laura Anderson Barbata
DESCRIPTION:As a part of Laura Anderson Barbata’s work in Emerson Contemporary’s off the pedestal multimedia installation\, the artist will be giving a talk at the Media Art Gallery on September 18th\, from 5:00-6:00pm (doors open at 4:30 pm). \n\n\n\nBarbata’s inspiring performance work Indigo is a call to action in response to the violence and murder of Black persons at the hands of the police. A group of sixteen resplendent characters clad in hand-dyed fabrics\, woven details\, and ornate stitching\, many standing at the height of stilts\, powerfully demonstrate the textile art aspect of Barbata’s vision. Come celebrate off the pedestal\, a multimedia group exhibition featuring visual artists Laura Anderson Barbata\, New Red Order\, and Paula J. Wilson. This exhibition is on view in the Media Art Gallery at 25 Avery Street from August 1 – October 5\, 2024. The exhibition is free and open to the public Tuesday – Saturday\, 12-6 pm.  \n\n\n\nLaura Anderson Barbata\, Indigo\, 2017\n\n\n\nCurated by Distinguished Curator-in-Residence Leonie Bradbury and Curator of Special Projects Shana Dumont Garr\, off the pedestal speaks directly to the national phenomenon of the removal of Confederate and other racist monuments in the wake of the police murder of George Floyd. Although monuments are generally presented as permanent\, timeless\, and expressive of universal values\, this exhibition proposes that public memory could be more effectively addressed and activated through ephemeral expressions. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNew Red Order’s large-scale video installation Culture Capture: Crimes Against Reality examines the contradictions inherent in a society built on both the longing for indigeneity and the violent erasure of Indigenous peoples. They base their critique on historical events\, and the pacing of the digitized imagery\, accompanied by skillful sound design\, transports viewers into their speculative reveries.  \n\n\n\nPaula J. Wilson’s performative video Living Monument and 2D wall work Thyself monumentalize Black female bodies through dramatic scale and bold gestures. Her work elevates embodied histories and reminds us that joy and celebration are crucial parts of resistance. This exhibition is part of Emerson Contemporary’s Regarding Monuments: Visualizing Hidden Histories\, a multi-year initiative that includes exhibitions centered on monuments\, several public art installations\, and a technology incubator.

Crimes Against Reality focuses on two public sculptures by James Earle Fraser — End of the Trail (1894)\, a statue originally intended to be installed on the California coast at the scale of the Statue of Liberty\, and the statue of Theodore Roosevelt (1939) that was removed from outside the American Museum of Natural History\, in New York\, in 2022 — both of which commemorate the origin myth of America. \n\n\n\nLittle Jaguar (Laura Anderson Barbata) and Diablos (Jarana Beat). Intervention: Indigo\, Bushwick\, 2015. Photo: Rene Cervantes\n\n\n\n\n\nLaura Anderson Barbata Intervention: Indigo presents a call to action to serve and protect in response to police violence. The point of departure is the color Indigo\, a dye used around the globe that has been associated with protection\, wisdom and royalty.  Created in in collaboration with the Brooklyn Jumbies\, Chris Walker and Jarana Beat\, Indigo was performed first in Brooklyn and again in Mexico City in 2020 in collaboration with muca Roma\, Chris Walker\, Los Diablos de la Costa de Guerrero Los Rebeldes de El Capricho\, Elizabeth Ross\, Danza UNAM and Pro-Alterne Teatro. The work is a call to action to serve and protect\, and of protest in response to the violence and murder at the hands of the police of Black people living in the United States and all over the world.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaula J. Wilson fuses wide-ranging techniques and media with her observations of the natural world\, where it is a matter of survival to make space for oneself to live\, love\, and make art. Recurring themes of feminine power\, natural life systems\, and art-making itself converge under the umbrella of regeneration and change. Narrative artworks that place feminine subjects in positions of power. Her expansive practice forcefully proclaims her place in the (art) histories she engages.

SUMMARY:Transforming Boston: Art and Technology Incubator
DESCRIPTION:A workshop series conducted by Michael Lewy  \n\n\n\n\n\nTransforming Boston: Art and Technology Incubator is our public-facing artist training and mentorship initiative\, which offers access to new media technology for artists to either translate previous work or create new work. The incubator serves practicing artists who have faced obstacles due to the high start-up costs of these design tools and the cultural barriers within the new media art field. Ten artists from the Boston area have been invited to participate in this year’s program focused on Augmented Reality and develop their skills while designing a project. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis weekly confluence of ideas & creative exploration features guest lectures by Nicolas Robbe\, Lauren Moffett\, and Liz Nofziger. The goal of the 2024 incubator is to offer training opportunities and access to technology for artists to either translate previous work or create new work in the medium of augmented reality (AR). The program provides assistance with the production process\, technology exploration and mentorship.  \n\n\n\nThe 2025 cohort will focus on projection mapping.

SUMMARY:Water Memories: A Happening...
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate a multi media installation environment created by Zhiyao Ding\, Mila Jafarnejad\, Alexander Nezam\, Nikita Potnis\, Marcus Santos\, Yangyanyun Tang\, Siqi Xiong\, and Yishu Yu whose work is the culminating project from the Film and Media Arts graduate installation art course “Space\, Place\, Image\, Sound.”  Location: Huret and Spector Gallery\, please enter on the 7th Floor. \n\n\n\nAlthough we don’t remember it\, every newborn human being develops in the amniotic fluid of their mother. Our first interaction with the external world is to leave the water and breathe land’s air. One of the criteria for exploring a planet’s habitability is evidence of water\, because without it life cannot live. Water exists in many forms: oceans\, rivers\, clouds\, snowflakes and even inside our bodies. \n\n\n\nJapanese scientist Masaru Emoto studied the molecular structure of water and discovered that when water was exposed to different human emotions the molecular structure of water changed. He realized that the water we drink\, use and interact with every day has memory. Water remembers. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition explores many modes of interacting with water including memories of water\, the biological and cultural significance of water. How would it feel to submerge yourself in water again? Fear? death? cleansing? or a warm embrace? After all\, every drop of water once belonged to the sea\, and all life will eventually meet again as one.
