Join us for a screening event of three films by Michelle Williams Gamaker, House of Women (2017), The Eternal Return (2019) and The Bang Straws (2021), which form part of her series exploring ‘Fictional Activism’.

About

Williams Gamaker’s work is rooted in activism and social justice, exploring the politics of race and representation as well as migration, gender identity, and capitalism.  

This event will focus on what the artist calls ‘Fictional Activism’. This is where characters regain a voice to share their story and point to the problematic practices within both the film and the film industry. Williams Gamaker’s new film, Thieves, showing at the SLG as part of the exhibition Our Mountains Are Painted On Glass is a continuation of her ‘Fictional Activism’ series. 

The screenings will be introduced by film scholar and lecturer Dr. Kulraj Phullar.
