Celebrating the launch of Attensity!, the Strother School of Radical Attention (SoRA) holds a series of four participatory events where we will collectively create and test-drive vessels for human attention. Over the course of four weeks, four hosts will activate the Sanctuary Gallery in DUMBO with sound, film, objects and movement, and lecture performance. 

This screening of a selection of Tercer Cine films, followed by an open discussion session, spotlights the radical attention adopted by makers and viewers of revolutionary film. We will explore techniques of filmmaking that subvert the passive gaze, and the capacity of screening/watching for catalyzing collective movement-making.

Her art encompasses a wide range of mediums including film, illustration, writing, sculpture, installation, and sound.
