Elegy: My Two Months in Harlem

Two years ago, the world was slowly and quickly changing at a pace that made little sense. We all looked for something, or someone to hold on to. The ground was shaky and no anchors were in sight. I called a few people I knew to make sense of this sorrow. I found Mr. Owens and Beloved, who lived in Harlem. These two were walking with the wounded. They helped me make sense of this rattling by opening their hearts and showing me a world of possibility, of transformation and maybe a rebirth. As the spring approaches, I wonder what we have learned from these days? How wide can a heart be opened, and can it protect us from what comes next? Have we found light within? This film is a meditation on the people who heard that deep call of sorrow.

A Greenland Story

With no roads connecting its coastal communities, a humble boat and its Irish crew move quietly in the background giving rare access to remote villages up into the Arctic Circle. In near 24-hour daylight, sailing by vast icebergs and sharing midnight encounters with humpback whales, we are invited into homes and communities along the way. These heartfelt interactions reveal a generous and inviting people battling to hold onto a culture that forms their identity. A hunting society turned capitalist, local hunters no longer feed their communities. As the ice disappears around them, what future beckons? Perhaps one that offers an easier type of living, but one that brings its own difficulties. This is a celebration of Greenland’s culture, a lament for a changing way of life and a yearning for a positive future for a culture facing such uncertain times.

Your Eyes Will Be an Empty Word

This video by Coco Fusco includes footage of the artist traveling by boat around Hart Island, the site of New York’s public cemetery that was operated by the city’s department of corrections until October 1, 2021.

Fusco’s video features a meditation she wrote on the conditions of the current pandemic and is performed by poet Pamela Sneed.

main(s)tenues

Hands play a crucial role in communication. They are capable of revealing things that the face and/or language seek to hide or cannot express. Even though hands are often considered an extension of the brain, they can also be seen as an extension of the heart, and perhaps even our emotions. Based on Jean Ferrat’s musical rendition of a poem by the French poet Louis Aragon, main(s)tenues explores the complexity of (contemporary) human connection and the vulnerability involved.
