6:00 PM | Suneil Sanzgiri: Artist Talk + Screening
This lecture by artist and filmmaker Suneil Sanzgiri unpacks and explores questions and themes around decolonization, identity, diaspora, and cross-continental solidarity. Through his lens-based practice, Sanzgiri’s experimental films and installations blend multiple layers of 16mm film, CG animation, desktop aesthetics, and archival manipulation to gesture to tensions, possibilities, and replications of what we find when we search for ourselves in the remnants of colonial histories. Sanzgiri will invite students to think through methodologies employed by various interpretations of “the essay film” and ultimately workshop with students' ways of thinking that seek to produce a series of questions about their own work.
Meeting ID: 831 2049 9479 / Passcode: 996457
