Lessons in Living Otherwise, pt. 2 – ONLINE Screening + Q&A with Sofía Gallisá Muriente & TJ Cuthand

Light Work UVP presents two different film programs, both featuring the work of multimedia artists Sofía Gallisá Muriente and TJ Cuthand.

This remote event is a stream of Lessons in Living Otherwise, Program 2, which will take place in person on 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.”

Please note: this program includes discussion or depiction of sexual situations and natural disaster. Please contact us at info@urbanvideoproject.com with any questions about content.

Both the film portion and the Q&A portion of this event will be captioned.

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.
