The newest print in our year-long 10th Anniversary

The newest print in our year-long 10th Anniversary Print Sale is from visionary artist @cauleen_smith! ⁠Drawing from structuralism, third world cinema, and science fiction, Cauleen Smith (#BSFF13, #BSFF19) makes things that deploy the tactics of activism in service of ecstatic social space and contemplation. This still is from the 2018 film SOJOURNER, which explores what a radical feminist utopia might look like.⁠⁠
⁠⁠

Still from SOJOURNER⁠⁠

Three powerful documentaries from last year's Blac

Three powerful documentaries from last year's BlackStar Film Festival (#BSFF20) are available to watch in the US this week: @uliang's Down a Dark Stairwell, about the shooting of Akai Gurley and the trial of Peter Liang, has its television premiere tonight at 10 ET, and will then be available tomorrow via the PBS app. Meanwhile, @darkcitybmore — @tttheartist's musical documentary reimagining the narrative of Baltimore City through Baltimore club music — comes to Netflix on Thursday. And @shalinikantayya's @codedbias, about the fallout of Joy Buolamwini's discovery of racial bias in facial recognition algorithms, started streaming on the platform last week. ⁠⁠

Congrats to all of these filmmakers! More info about the Down a Dark Stairwell premiere at the link in bio, and you can find the other two films via Netflix.⁠⁠ 📺

The final slide is a still from Coded Bias, and shows a Black person ina red suit walking across a street with their face being scanned by a computer, while the US capital building is visible in the background.]

"There is value in choosing how to be seen, in rec

"There is value in choosing how to be seen, in reclaiming the right to select the face you show the world, in insisting that others see you as you know yourself to be. In proudly and boldly framing ourselves in the ways of our own choosing, to say: Here I am, this is me. In a way, this is a form of love, too." - Celeste Ng (@pronounced_ing) in a @nytimes essay, "Keeping Love Close: What does love look like in a time of hate? Asian and Asian American photographers respond."⁠⁠

[Image Descriptions: First slide is a screenshot from a New York Times article mentioned above. It includes two photos, one features a person with their arms folded above their head in a state of relaxation or meditation. The second shows two people facing each other, one of them holds up a mirror for the other to see themselves. The second slide features a photo of Sandy Kim in Koreatown, Los Angeles. Mouth open, their parents feed them, with the accompanying quote: "Every week my parents drive an hour and half away to visit me in Los Angeles. They stock my fridge, clean my house, do my laundry, cook meals for the week and fix anything broken. It’s important to them that I stay on track ever since I overcame a decade-long opiate addiction. I’ve spent the last two years relearning how to live, replacing all the shame I had with love and connection instead. I am so grateful to be alive, and for the love, support and hope they give me."]⁠⁠
