Light Work UVP presents two different film programs, both featuring the work of multimedia artists Sofía Gallisá Muriente and TJ Cuthand.
Program 1: Wednesday, April 19 at 7pm in Shaffer Art Bldg.
Program 2: Thursday, April 20 at 6:30pm in the Everson Museum Auditorium*
In the work of Muriente and Cuthand, we meet the inhabitants of lands scarred by legacies of toxic colonialism and violent extraction. Here, survival is a mode of resistance, and it is done by making space for grief, fear, and doubt but also moments of humor, intimacy, care, and, in the words of Sofía Gallisá Muriente, “obstinate joy.”
Sofía Gallisá Muriente is a Puerto Rican visual artist whose work resists colonial forces of erasure and claims the freedom of historical agency, proposing mechanisms for remembering and reimagining.
TJ Cuthand makes short experimental narrative videos and films about sexuality, madness, Queer identity and love, and Indigeneity. He is a trans man who uses He/Him pronouns. He is of Plains Cree and Scots descent, a Little Pine First Nation member, and currently resides in Toronto, Canada.
*This program is co-presented with the College of Visual and Performing Arts School of Art Visiting Artist Lecture Series
