DESCRIPTION:November 26-29, 2020, all day\n\nOver the Thanksgiving holiday, tune into 
 'New Labor Movements,' a program of short films exploring concepts of 
 transnational Blackness curated by Leila Weefur, available online for a 
 limited time. In partnership with the Roxie Theater, McEvoy Arts offers a 
 special screening of selections from 'New Labor Movements,' "Movement I. 
 Assembly" and "Movement II. Resistance/Selfhood." Films by Christopher 
 Harris, Lonnie Holley and Cyrus Moussavi, Onyeka Igwe, Mitch McCabe, Morgan 
 Quaintance, Eden Tinto Collins and Adrien Gystere Peskine explore diasporic 
 history, collective experience, and the trans-Atlantic distribution of 
 labor, power, and people against the backdrop of the holiday's colonialist 
 underpinnings. From the Black transcendence of I Snuck Off the Slave Ship 
 (2019) to the quasi-apocalyptic premonitions of Civil War Surveillance 
 Poems (Part 1) (2019), these works by emerging and established filmmakers 
 celebrate genre-breaking approaches to film construction and narrative and 
 offer thoughtful articulations of movement that reveal the nuance of global 
 political critique and a profound broadness of Black life across 
 borders.\n\nLeila Weefur (She/They/He) is a trans-gender-nonconforming 
 artist, writer, and curator whose work in video and installation brings 
 together concepts of the sensorial memory, abject Blackness, hyper 
 surveillance, and the erotic. 'New Labor Movements' is inspired by the West 
 Coast debut of Isaac Julien's immersive film installation Lessons of the 
 Hour-Frederick Douglass (2019), currently on view at McEvoy Arts. Movements 
 III and IV premiere at McEvoy Arts in 2021.\n\n'New Labor Movements' is 
 available to stream with a sliding scale rental fee of $5-$20 November 
 26-29, 2020\n\nSuggested Donation $5-$20\n
