DESCRIPTION:\n	With filmmakers Miatta Kawinzi and Joiri Minaya in person \n
 \n\n	Total running time: 45 mins.\n\n\n	This shorts program includes a sel
 ection of experimental videos by artists Sable Elyse Smith\, Joiri Minaya 
 and Miatta Kawinzi. The word “black” has many definitions\, yet it is inde
 finite all the same. One word that essentially encompasses being black is 
 vulnerability. To be open about our complex experiences takes vulnerabilit
 y and these three artists poetically express their observations with keen 
 honesty. \n\n\n	Organized by Tiffany Joy Butler \n\n\n	La Tercera Raíz (Th
 e Third Root) \n\n\n	Miatta Kawinzi. 2015\, 9 min. Drum beats\, an automat
 ed voice\, and the artist’s own vocalizations layer onto moving images of 
 mountains\, trees\, ocean water crashing against rocks\, and the ocean’s h
 orizon. This film acknowledges the presence of the African diaspora in Mex
 ico. \n\n\n	sweat/tears/sea  \n\n\n	Miatta Kawinzi. 2017\, 6 min. The arti
 st gestures through soft movements and sings striking notes. Poetic questi
 ons regarding the positionality of the self and the environment are asked 
 of the viewer with images of grass\, sky\, sand\, and water. Kawinzi descr
 ibes this work as “a meditation on alternative temporalities of feeling\, 
 experience\, and linguistic unfolding.” \n\n\n	Men Who Swallow Themselves 
 in Mirrors  \n\n\n	Sable Elyse Smith. 2017\, 8 min. Aerial images of a bla
 ck body falling in slow motion are set against clips from the documentary 
 Powers of Ten\, where a white man and his date enjoy a casual picnic. \n\n
 \n	Courtesy of the art\, JTT\, New York and Carlos Ishikawa\, London. \n\n
 \n	How We Tell Stories to Children  \n\n\n	Sable Elyse Smith. 2015\, 5 min
 . The video includes the voice of the artist and footage recorded by her i
 mprisoned father as part of a visual diary. It also reveals a boy attempti
 ng to escape the frame and moving snapshots of a city street. \n\n\n	Court
 esy of the art\, JTT\, New York and Carlos Ishikawa\, London. \n\n\n	Sibon
 ey  \n\n\n	Joiri Minaya. 2014\, 10 min. The artist paints tropical pattern
 s onto a white wall similar to the mass production of wallpaper. Through t
 he subtitles\, the viewer understands that Minaya is aware of our gaze. \n
 \n\n	Labadee  \n\n\n	Joiri Minaya. 2017\, 7 min. Comprised of footage from
  the perspective of a tourist on a cruise ship entering Labadee\, Haiti\, 
 this video investigates how landscape is manipulated to fit the vacationer
 ’s gaze. \n\n\n	Tickets: $15 ($11 seniors and students / $9 youth (ages 3–
 17) / free or discounted for Museum members. Order tickets online. (Member
