Weaving
together the intersection of memory, dislocation, and radical
solidarity, the program uses film to confront, as well as imagine beyond
colonial violence and the ways it warps our sense of self, community,
time and space. Complimenting the film program with alternative media
forms such as food, music, an interactive drawing corner & a healing
conversation circle, the cinema is transformed into a space for
nurturing ancestral forms of belonging. It reflects on the essence of
home—its presence, what it carries, and the void left in its absence.
The showcased works examine the act of remembering, transforming
archives into dynamic spaces for resistance, reclamation, and processes
of un-learning.
