AGNES Program: Workshop (free and open to all!)
Sharlene Bamboat is a moving image and installation artist based in Tio鈥檛ia:ke/Montreal. Her practice often engages with translation, history and music, uncovering sensory and fractured ways of knowing. Sharlene and participants will have the opportunity to engage in a more intimate setting as we use this time to screen older works, as well as get a chance to showcase a new work-in-progress. We鈥檒l gather to talk, discuss, inquire about Sharlene鈥檚 practice, and workshop ideas and strategies as we watch and listen in context. The films that will be screened are: The Wind Sleeps Standing Up and Video Home System, along with a ten-minute cut of a new film Sharlene has been working on.
Open Secret features artists Parastoo Anoushahpour (19 + 20 January), Kriss Li (9 + 10 February), Sharlene Bamboat (9 + 10 March) and Sof铆a Gallis谩 Muriente (5 + 6 April). The series of screenings and workshops take its departure from Fred Moten鈥檚 words that 鈥減oetry investigates new ways for people to get together and do stuff in the open, in secret,鈥 and evokes cinema鈥檚 capacity to condition spaces for gathering. The double maneuver of opacity and transparency inherent in cinema鈥檚 making sets the precedent for this sort of investigation embedded in collaboration.
